When the government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

Tyrants from Hitler to Mao to Stalin have sought to disarm their own citizens, for the simple reason that unarmed people are easier to control.

There was a change in forum structure:

Instead of having a great big Legislative category, there is now a Senate board in the Government Category with the other senate boards inside of it.

But a legislature is not the same as a government.  They are distinct, and should be too.  This is more than symantics, part of a legislature's duties is to scrutinise the government.  If the Taijituan legislature is under the forum of the government, it appears to be under its thumb, too.

I see it in this way:

The Government has 3 parts: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

To make this clearer I guess I have to concentrate the Executive stuff together more...

No, the Legislature is very much a part of the government, to parrot what Elu said.
