I would take this one step further: Maybe governments aren't the problem, and have never been. They are easy targets, of course, and cursing them pleases the us-versus-them crowds, but the real problem is and always has been the morals and culture of the majority. Pointing at governments is easy, looking at ourselves is quite a bit harder. In the western world, we are all governed by corporations anyway, and they only survive by the grace of us voters, consumers and employees.

You know. Lately, I've been starting to see things that way, as well. I have my gripes with governments still, but I do think you may be on to something.
