Quote of the day

President George Washington, via The Anchoress:

“Government is not reason, it is not eloquent – it is a force. Like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master; never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.”

Perhaps one of those times has arrived when the servants must be reminded just who is Master.
