I am One; you are One; 'We' are Many; we are 'the People'.

Never let it be said, that "We the People", are not important. "We The People"..., are the most important element of any and all governments. Governments, as important as they are, must take 2nd chair to the People. A government is important, even very important, but the people are more important. A government can change into a 'different' type of government, but the 'condition of togetherness' can never do 'without a government'. Its ridiculous to 'try to shut down' government. In that view, 'someone out there doesn't get the picture'. That's not even a political position; that's political suicide. A 'condition of togetherness' needs government, and government needs a 'condition of togetherness'. A society cannot have One without the Other. The unfortunate aspect of government is the misplaced emphasis on 'where' to place the 'importance', Nay, the necessity, of Government. Sure, its important, but like I said, Government must take 2nd chair to the People. As important as government is, it must recognize that government is "of People", "by People", and "for People". Democratic government is government by the 'same people' who constitute the Governed, i.e. Democratic government is 'self-government'. Governments are 'political institutions', and "We the People", need them. Any attempt to 'shut down government' is a form of 'political suicide', with a simultaneous introduction of 'chaos' into the 'condition of togetherness'. We need Government and government needs the People. Well then, 'who' are the People? The People are the 'essence' of government. It is, you and I. "I am One, you are One, We are Many". Each of the Many are One; One is a number, hence, "We are Number", and number is a quantity and it can be 'counted'. 'Everyone counts' in a Democracy. Lets judge Legislation, Policy and Law, by number, and we can't go wrong. Democracy, at the Bottom of government, is a 'political equation', and 'each' and every number counts in an equation.
