We and Us

Good governance provides well for freedom, justice, and order. As we as individuals in our society improve the quality of information we are getting about the realities of our society and governance, so we improve our society and our governance. However, the less we discuss the nature of freedom, justice, and order among us, the less we form a functioning we, body politic, or society. If we truly want freedom, justice, and order among us, we must maintain a dialogue on freedom, justice and order among us.

We?

A once well-known quote among us was, "Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it."
'Us' implies a 'we,' doesn't it? 'Everyone' refers to 'every one of us,' doesn't it?

When you say, "We now seem to be taking some responsibility for the weather as we begin to take responsibility for our climate." Who do you suppose the 'we' refers to? Who makes up a 'we?' How do individuals become a we?

Just Who Are We?

A once well know quote among us was, "Everyone talks about the weather, but no one does anything about it." 'Us' implies a 'we,' doesn't it? 'Everyone' refers to 'every one of us,' doesn't it? 'No one' refers to 'no one of us,' doesn't it?

When I say, "We now seem to be taking some responsibility for the weather as we begin to take some responsibility for our climate." Who do you suppose the 'we' refers to? Who makes up a we? How do individuals become a we? Why might one care?
