Blind obedience is what they want.

It should not be what society wants though. I think that has been made painfully clear in the past, but some people still just don't seem to get it.

Yup. There is a popular myth amongst the sheeple that those in power share a citizen's best interests. One must always remember that this ostensible pretense is rarely ever the case.

I find it hard to believe than anyone except for a small minority actually believes that to be the case. If it were, vast partisanship wouldn't exist, since whoever was in power would be considered to "share their best interests".
