That's the difference between governments and individuals. Governments don't care, individuals do.

About This Quote

When governments gather in secret and plot against people, that's when they can be said to care about something. People do things that matter to them individually. When governments act, they act in secret. They act behind closed doors.

They act with no regard for the people they hurt. So, who cares if they're doing what needs to be done?
