Some people are angry with the government because it won't reign in the corporations, which I don't think is what this cartoon is talking about.

All of them stewing in impotent anger as they continue to bark up the wrong tree; and they're mad as hell that I'm not mad as hell at "the government".

Someone was railing about pesticides and having to wash veggies like crazy and then blamed the government.

I told them the only reason it could be the government is for their LACK of action.

I swear,...people act like the government does EVERYTHING, but then, there was a time when people believed prayer made the sun come up and if you did something really cool the Gods would arrange the stars in your honor.
