Yes, Juikk. They are.The kitchen is the government, figuratively. The government---agencies and bureaucrats are literally the feeder. However, in a sense the feeder ought to be deputised and held accountable by those he feeds, through the democratic process. What is happening is the feeder's un-becoming contact of chosing who, when and how to feed, especially the act of feeding some while neglecting others, who deserve to be fed as well, so to say. As if or in the name of majority. The argument is that majority decides who will be the feeder and so forth but does not give the right and privilege to take the minorities portion as well. Yet, why the position is fiercely contested is the possibilities and chances for the winner to infuse his will and to benefit from the power inherent to the position. Without breakink rules and regulations, however.
