    Shh! We’re supposed to ignore that nearly all power is granted by fiat, and the government hardly enforces its duties to the common citizenry. It’s merely the threat of enforcement that keeps people in line.

      Even your local police on the front lines have no legal obligation to protect and serve individuals. Instead they use their individual judgment and discretion. Good luck with the government itself!
