Society And Government

I will keep it simple.  Society and government are not the same.  Sometimes there is confusion.   The main reason that there is confusion is because many believe that whatever the government does is right, morally correct and in the best interest of the people (or society).  Something else that might add to the confusion is the idea that the government "does the will of the people."  Does the government do the will of the people?  One of the best things government can do, is to allow me the privilege to pursue my own destiny.  This is more commonly referred to as freedom.   Freedom in society?  Freedom and society?  Now, that can be pretty challenging.   Is government doing an okay job with that?   You be the judge.
