I see the government as benevolent? Big Hardy Har Har! I'm an Individual and I am my Government! I'm the ass hole who you hate. I voted for me and take responsibility for my actions as a citizen. I don't like what I've become and I support a peaceful demonstration against my progression. I am America! A revolution in progress, A progression of ideas, My life is a scant measure in decades. My Country existed a few seconds in a day of our world. My World is a lone blue globe in the universe.
To answer you question:
So, then you might ask yourself what their purpose IS?
My answer: Their purpose is to better their meager existence. They choose to create law or subvert law to advance their ideals. They have Milton Fiedman's logical economy as principle for the motivation of greed. They have Ayn Rand's novel of 'Atlas Shrugged' as a model for independence.
Truth is; I am only important as another finds me. I have value because others give me value. I am needed when others find a need for me.
“To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ---Ralph Waldo Emerson
