> the Federal Government of the United States is not "the People" I disagree. It is indeed "government of the people, by the people, for the people". You may not like some particular people, and neither do I: Some are dumb, corrupt, or simply disagree with me. But if that doesn't represent the people of the U.S., I don't know what else could. If they were non-corrupt, all smart and highly capable, and all agreed with me - that would be some other country (in a fairy tale). It's not government of, by and for me. I want everyone else to have a vote too, even if I disagree with them.
