Politicians As A Class Are Dangerous, That

The More That Voting Is Glorified As A Panacea, The More Lackadaisical People Become About Preserving Their Constitutional Rights.

To Blindly Trust Government Is To Automatically Vest It With Excessive Power. To Distrust Government Is Simply To Trust Humanity - To Trust In The Ability Of Average People To Peacefully, Productively Coexist Without Some Official Policing Their Every Move. The State Is Merely Another Human Institution - Less Creative Than Microsoft, Less Reliable Than Federal Express, Less Responsible Than The Average Farmer Husbanding His Land, And Less Prudent Than The Average Citizen Spending His Own Paycheck.

If Citizens Wish To Retain Their Liberty, They Cannot Assume That Those Who Seek Power Over Them Are Honest. Skepticism Of Government Is One Of The Most Important-and Most Forgotten-bulwarks Of Freedom.

Some Of The Folks On Both Sides Might Be Sincere, But It Does Seem As If It Is Only The Opposition That Cares About The Bill Of Rights Most Of The Time.

For The Average Person Walking Down A Dark Street Late At Night, A Promise From A Politician Is Worth Far Less Than A .38 Special.
