Guess you missed the newsflash that
1) The collective mentality of governments is infinately more intelligent and rational than the separate mentalities of its citizens.
2) The Universal laws of Cause and Effect somehow are reversed when comparing person to person vs government to government
3) Governments always make well-thought out, well planned actions, unlike the average citizen who only acts rashly and capriciously
