If one were to ask a question: "Which Government should a reasonable, rational-minded citizen support?", the answer should always be: "None". Governments are like brats - affection suffocates them. It is every decent citizens' divine right and responsibility to treat them as such and periodically beat the living hell out of them. No society can build a sustainable political system without having great heroes who appear once or twice every generation to plow the way for the wimpy cynics who incidentally bring them down. Don't hate your governments but do suspect them at all times. When any given government, even the best of them, appears to behave halfway decent for a prolonged periods of time, immediately assume some kind of foul-play.
Don't mistake not my rant for an nihilistic nonsense. Governments are needed as much as the food we eat. Just like food you need to keep them fresh under harsh, freezing conditions. Otherwise - they spoil.
