Considering all the forms of counseling and therapy, it's interesting that we don't have any kind of therapy for the relationship between the people and their democracy.
Because if our democracy were a marriage, it would be an abusive one. The government lies to us, cheats on us with the big corporations and tells us that only the it can make us safe. You've got to picture Uncle Sam in a wife-beater going to bars and picking fights with little guys to make himself feel better.
And while counseling isn't going to make an abusive tyrant into a reasonable human being, it just might help the victims see that they do have choices and they don't have to live like this.
