On Government

My sensibilities are continually assaulted by the huge disparity between the existing scene and what I hold to be an ideal scene for society.
And if it is true that we get that on whcih we put our attention, then I better start putting my (and a lot of other people’s as this reality is created by agreement) attention on what it is we consider desirable!
So I tender this draft:
The Purpose of a Government:To provide a peaceful, secure operating and living environment for our citizens and neighbours to be free from oppression so they can flourish and prosper.To provide a clean, unpolluted environment (land, air, water and sea) that supports and encourages abundant plant, animal, bird and human life.
The Product of a Government:A safe environment, secure internally and from exterior threat where the population are free to pursue constructive goals without oppression.Abundant highly arable land sufficient to accommodate our present and future food needs and provide excess with which we can help less fortunate neighbours in times of famine or crisis.Fresh, clean, unpolluted water in abundance of our present and future needs.A healthy, ethical, educated population, competent in communication, coexistence, logic and problem solving and broadly and extensively skilled in their chosen endeavour.
As you can reasily see, the governments that we have must be working on other purposes and products or there must be huge opposition to the attainment of the above, or both, as we do not have what most would think desirable.
I consider that we need to be continually putting the attention of the govenment on the above (or a better version of it) and start holding the members accountable for the non-attainment of the proper product of government!
Letting rioters and looters destroy property and harm or kill people is the exact opposite of proper government and any governor, mayor or police chief who lets this happen on their watch should be summarily dismissed with no pension and charged with treason on their post.
