I want a polite, equitable society that is controlled by the citizens thereof..

A country can achieve great things apart from this.. and they have..

But IMO, it's not legitimate. For a government to be legitimate, they must operate on a mandate from the people who fund and live under it.

We have to start by leaving people to deal with the consequences of their actions. The biggest hurdle to overcome is getting people off of the notion that government can solve problems without creating more.
