How should we judge a government?

"No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life and breeds ill will and suspicion – it is an evil government".

- Eric Hoffer, The Passionate State of Mind 1954

"Our government is like a baby's alimentary canal, with a happy appetite at one end and no responsibility at the other. "
“You are saying our problem is civil disobedience, but that is not our problem. Our problem is civil obedience. . . . Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country.”
-Howard Zinn
