I feel it's important to re-member that 'government' is only an idea that has been perpetuated through enough people with enough resources to mean that it has taken on an intimidating form. Step one is understanding what inTIMIDation actually is and healing our fears there. Once we are feeling grounded it is possible to take the necessary steps to improve life peacefully. We are not powerless in the face of government, we are powerless in the face of denial. That said, many in governments may view us as powerless and that is part of what allows such exploitation. I personally do not see any possible solution here as long as artificial hierarchy is allowed to continue.
