“Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people. If people were in the habit of referring to ‘King George’s council, Winston and his gang’, it would go a long way to clearing thought, and reducing the frightful landslide into Theyocracy. Anyway the proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most important job of any man, even saints(who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.” – J.R.R. Tolkein
– That’s not funny…it is profound. And true. Makes me want to write the “g” inverted .(

Government is a “Fiction” an umbrella people work under; mostly to do more harm than good.
It’s an even more abstract verb….
