"..There's one other thing I should say. It's a very general thing.
Governments that impose harsh restrictions on their citizens, backed
up by cruel punishments, on behalf of corporations, are showing that
they are not really on the citizens's side. They're not working for
us, they don't represent us except with lip service. They represent
the corporations and their goal is to rule us. These governments are
democratic only in name. And since governments get their legitimacy
from ruling on behalf of the people and protecting the people's
rights, these governments lose their legitimacy.

I'm very sad to say that almost all governments around the World have
done this. "Government of the people, by the flunkies, for the
corporations". And it makes me very sad" (Stallman at

Sounds perfect, CK Raju
