"The Government"
I just stumbled across this quote from Robert A. Heinlein’s Stranger in a Strange Land, which sort of speaks to what I was attempting to get at with We the People:
“Do you know who is responsible?”
“Why of course, it’s the government!”
“Jill, ‘the government’ is several million people.”
Have I mentioned how much I love Heinlein? I think it’s about time I re-read that book.
