Ours is a representative government. Anything it does is in fact on our behalf for the common good as we the voters have conveyed it to our representatives. If we are unhappy with their representation or understanding of our common interests, the onus is on us to either elect different representatives or communicate better with the ones already in Juneau. Ranting about government as some kind of enemy is as effective raving at a mirror--the opponent won't change until you do.
