I bring you 2 ideas construed really badly together! Peace in Government and Peace in Mind!

In a country of 300,000 I am a nobody, but let me tell you, in the place of my mind, there is no one more comfortable then myself. I am happy, I am content, I am enthusiastic, I am grateful.
The government is great really for an individual like me. I see a place of anarchy would not benefit anyone, because I feel mob rule would probably overcome all. The government has done a lot to me, it has put me in public schools. It gave me an education, which I feel is more important then anything. Some say ignorance is bliss, but in this situation, I love knowledge. That is not all I have benefited from this. I live carefree, and I could not see myself living any other way. This is not an I LOVE CAPITALISM post, it is a mix of I love sitting in my place in the world post, and how others have gone to such great lengths to put me here. I am content where I am right now in the world. I like having health care, I like being able to go to the doctor when I am sick or when I break an arm. Imagine having to just tough something like that out. It would be terrible!

I never really appreciated how well set up our government was until I learned about it in AP Us History. An Executive branch to tell me what bad guys to hate, a legislative branch to tell the bad guys what not to do, a judicial branch to choose what to do to the bad guys. All these people making my decisions I get to be passive in all of it. You don't see me hopping on the 'I hate terrorists' bandwagon. I sit in my home doing homework and facebooking. ignorance is not bliss, being passive is. In my grey chair I sit on in my basement, content and happy are interchangable.
