No government doesn't mean no organization.
Society can entrust people to be implementing the policies they believe in but republics just bread ignorance and blind trust.
At most, if must stay a republic instead of a democracy, still the masses gaining knowledge and the representative explaining and justifying all his policies to the masses, can be a way better republic.

Good is something we all like to believe we are. Good however to me amongst many things implies doing whatever you can for the oppressed, poor, and starving.
That said, I realize I been the opposite of that. I just realized I've been evil most of my life.
There is no excuse for my apathy.
Only way to win my soul back is to give it my all.
It's time we learn and teach the masses and empower them.
No one willing to walk this path with me?

Luke 9:24 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. Luke 17:33 Whosoevere shall seek to save his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it. John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. Jesus taught what you have come to realize as these are His words,

The US is also looked at very condescendingly in a lot of the world. Many immigrants are going home or to other countries now that jobs are scarce. The only reason they came here was for opportunity.
Then it seems the people of the world are being condescending, using the US for their own benefit and nothing more. Maybe we should be less generous to the world and see how loud it cries.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
