Like "big oil companies" are responsible for making oil cheap for us. Alternative version of that is "the government should nationalize the oil industry so it will be responsible for making oil cheap for us." Or "My insurance plan is responsible for covering that." Or the State Department, state or federal, is responsible for vetting the candidates thoroughly. Or the some party big-wigs will investigate the other candidate with a nit comb.
Better we do it, by ourselves. The more we practice that, the more we have a chance.
We, as individuals acting in concert and appreciating -- by both vigorous criticism and sometimes small encouragements, have a citizen's duty to the ideals of this Republic to do first by ourselves, and only begrudgingly ceding authority to government, and then only for such times and limited powers as would be needed to fill the role.
Nor should we -- free citizens, intelligent and educated -- easily cede any authority to judge matters as they arise to experts, rather than to make some reasonable effort to judge the matter each for ourselves. Experts are welcome, and needed, but we do not help them in their expertise or us in our life duties unless we keep to that good man's motto "Trust but Verify" -- for in failing to do our own researches and experiments on matters of public merit we make ourselves the subjects of another good man's proverb: "There's a sucker born every minute."
Sorry, I didn’t follow what you were commenting back to me on.
