NAME CHANGE

We picked the wrong word to characterize those in political office: Government.

Here are some of the Thesaurus synonyms and related words for "govern":

regulate
wield authority
command
be master of
control
mastermind
order
manipulate
maneuver
arrest
restrain
constrain
inhibit
prohibit
hold back
bridle
rein
dominate

Here are some of the Thesaurus synonyms and related words for "freedom":

liberty
rights
unrestraint
unconstraint
noncoercion
nonintimidation
unharness
unmuzzle
disentangle
unsnarl
unknot
emancipated
unshackled
rescued

"Government" may be appropriate when the head of it is an emperor, a king, a
dictator. It is a misnomer in our free country.

I propose Guardianship instead of Government...political employees hired by us,
paid by us, for one and one purpose only: to guard, protect and secure our
freedom. There will be no president, no vice-president, no senators
(historically, the ruling class), no representatives (another misnomer), no
governors, no mayors...only head guardian, vice-guardian, general guardians,
state and city guardians. Period.
