The Social Model

The Social Model

The best and purest form of government is a government that understands, and appropriately relates and reacts to the multi-faceted nature of society and the people that it incorporates. It must allow but at the same time control diversity; it must yearn for, but not overrate unity; it must protect but not confine its citizens; it must tax but not steal from its people; it must be quick to act but quicker to think. It must birth nationalists who wear the pride of their nation on their coat; it must look to a higher Authority to enact just laws. It must punish and it must reward; it must be the settlement of love and the battleground of quarrel. It must be the threshold of reason but the backhand of stupidity. It must grant and allow for the enjoyment of individuals rights, but it must not back down when the nations security is at stake. It must have a written document that the citizens and decision-makers can look to for clarity during uncertain times. It must have strength, it must have trade, it must have growth and it must have justice. It must prevail through internal affairs and it must prevail in outward of violence. It must ensue peace but not be so naïve as to think that peace will triumph without occasional coercion. The model government will applaud with the glad and weep with the sorrowful. The model government will introduce, allow, and wisely fund the research and development of new technology to increase federal efficiency and stabilize the economy. It will discourage laziness with the natural consequences that result from it, and it will provide shelter for religious diversity until that diversity clashes with the nations unity. It will pave the streets of success and it will be the marketplace of ideas- where the citizens feel safe in voicing their own opinion. It will have an internal policing unit that provides proactive control to violence and illegal activity. The model form of government will only end when justice has been corroded and an immoral decline of responsibility occurs. The model form of government is not a Utopia, because a Utopia by definition does not exist. The fact that such a model form of government has not yet been in existence does not imply that it cannot exist. How can something so pure and unimaginable exist? A pure form of government must truly assure the citizens of justice, liberties, protection, economic stability, environmental compatibility and national unity.
