Government: Taking ownership | The Seattle Times

Incessantly in dialog and within the media, I hear references to “the federal government.” I counsel we seek advice from “our authorities.” Whether or not it’s native, state or nationwide, our authorities is one thing we’re all part of and all take part in to some extent in some ways, comparable to by following legal guidelines, native/state/federal employment, paying taxes, receiving Social Safety, supporting candidates, voting, and so forth.

Possibly this little change would occasionally remind those that our authorities belongs to all of us and it’s in our collective curiosity that it perform as greatest as attainable for everyone.
