What is government?
correct me if I'm wrong.

Gubermare (latin)= to control

Mente (latin)= mind

so government = to control the mind.

In terms of etymology, that may be right, but we don't speak Latin, we speak English, and that's not what government necessarily means in English.

A government is a body of people notably ungoverned.

The opposite of government is chaos. Good example of chaos might be Iraq. Some out there long for the good ole days of saddam.
