|Because some creatures are too irrational to be trusted with so

|questionable. The assumption that only citizens who have become
|part of the government should have what most citizens are not to
|be trusted with is also very questionable.
Who gets to decide who "are too irrational", then, I wonder.
A citizen, you write. So the local power mongers (''the Government'')
shall bludgeon all others to do their bidding, in your world model?
And the non-citizens become their slaves, I surmise.
