We're the Government -- and You're Not: What if the U.S. government released a "public service film" to teach Americans today how to be good citizens? "We're the Government -- and You're Not," is a satire of just such an "educational film." It's a satire of just how the federal government expects its "loyal subjects" to behave. If you'll obey these simple rules, you'll be a good, patriotic American citizen -- as far as the feds are concerned.
