Sorry for the loss. May he RIP.

& yes, I understand your point of view fully.

To what extent should a government control things?

However, we do vote our governments in and one of the biggest problems with that is a lack of information, a lack of integrity among the people in the media branches and most of all the fact that the people "running for a position" are willing to bend over backwards most often than not to get the vote, rather than do what is right, no questions asked.

If you have noticed, the bulk of the issues are arising since "career politicians" started taking over in politics.

Before this, we used to choose people who have proven their qualities and abilities through the course of their life in the fields that they were active in. Now we have almost nothing but those who have never earned a dollar that didn't come out of a tax payers pocket!

That says more about the problems than anything else.
