The Smiths vs the Garbwoski's
The Smiths created for themselves the type of societal ideals that made the Garbowskis suffer so much they went against them and succeded in doing so.
The problem remained that the Smiths could not make the Garbowskis bend to their collective will. (Freedom being a highly vaunted tenet of a so-called democratic society)
But putting that aside along with everything else that assumes a place in a hierchial order in pecking fashion, can you see what the perception is of a government (not "society") that finds itself in a easily mockable untenable position of publicly promoting family values while demoting them in the structure of the Dept for Native and Northern Affairs for example?
The government cannot just switch sides of its role in governance in people lives and all of a sudden aspire to be a larger Quebec it self.
The fundamental building block of any society is family. The trouble remains that citizens
should not have to be forced to give up their free time to rein in governments.
This is the place we have been led directly from a fundamental lack of faith and trust in government upon which we have arrived.
You will notice how large the word family looms in thecloud word picture. Whereas in reality, this fundamental and key aspect that straddles the entire breadth of the strata of accrouments surrounding this issue is the one most often ignored by both society and government. They are inseperable; but not one and the same thing.
While government can guide societys aspirations, it should not be the job , unpaid work of citizens to drag the governments feet to live up to unspoken ideals that both commercialized and muted by the ends of the players at each end of the spectrum.
I am willing to bet the cross currented concerns of the individual are more likely to hold sway in the argument than any person whose goals are oritented towards a healthy society. And it is because such individuals run against the natural order of things and see restrictions on any sense of freedom they have as threats; real or not.
There is a great deal of debt contributed towards psychology thanks to the unwitting participation of indigenous elements.
And you wont find a single anthropologist who would not agree with that.
