We're the Government and we Built All These

True, the government is often corrupted so as to server the few, but the solution isn’t to follow Grover Norquist and the Tea Partiers and drown government in the bathtub. The solution is to fix government so that it serves everyone.

Without government, we’d still be hunter-gatherers.

See Government doesn't take away your freedoms; corrupt politicians, bureaucrats, and corporations do!.

that drilling on private land was none of the government's business.

I thought, "Oh yes it is!" We, the People, are the government, and we have a duty to protect the land and water from those that might do it damage. It is most definitely the government's (we) business.
