Yes, but people's cynicism towards the government is neither interesting or notable. The whole point of government, classically speaking, is that it is a compromise with the evil nature of Man. Ideally speaking, we would recognize that government exists to serve as a compromise between citizens to abide by some less-than perfect system by which moral, political and intellectual differences do not interfere with a semblance of regular operation and prosperity.
That's nice that you find it silly. But that isn't the point. This isn't about the endless, millions upon millions of differing opinions, ideas and morals. This is about cobbling together some kind of make-shift system by which people can find food and shelter.
