Which would be the ideal. However, the problem is that government isn't upholding ethics anymore, because it's so damn corrupted. Any efforts toward regulations, reforms, or environmental standards are nonexistent anymore, because of so much corporate pressure against them, either through media propoganda, unlimited money being spent on elections (Citizens United Case) by corporate groups, or lobbyists cutting checks for politicians already in office. The voice of the people is a moot point now, because it has been drowned out by so much special interest money. Now does that sound like democracy to you?

We already have seperation of church and state, now we need to work towards seperation of business and state. We must work toward getting corporate money, special interests groups, and lobbyists out of government, so that it can act as unbiased policing body which responds to the true will (no, not the will the TV tells you to have, the will of your own damn brain) of the people.
