I think it's healthy to question everything your governors do. From the basic act of pursuing election to each ruling that follows, you will find that almost none of it is for your benefit. Governments operate nations like corporations, competing with eachother, we're just the workforce, and the more of us they make redundant the more of us they can force into unpaid labour.
The more restrictions and intrusions you accept, the more they will clamp down. If you can't even bring yourself to object, eventually you will be living like a household pet. And y'know my dog seems to be pretty happy, but by human standards he's also pretty stupid.
