Glad we're in agreement that the government is neither, civilised, normal or rational.

  The government is just a set of people that changes over time not some singular entity that has distinct behavior compared to humans. Speaking about it as like you do makes no sense

    I don't think "the government" is /just/ a set of people that changes over time. Government, based on the people who were previously in it and incentive structures, change/enable the people who are in the government to varying degrees.
