we know the government is more than a bad steward. we know the government is malicious. we know the government is criminal. we know the government is a vast machine of war. we know the government is a killer elite. we know the government is a global terrorist organization. we know the government is not only for profit. we know the government is actively undermining and destroying the web of life. 
and all we can do is, like george orwell, take note, and make a garden, and tend it well.
