Quote of the Week:  

DateSaturday, June 26, 2010 at 08:14AM

Society in every state is a blessing, but government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer.


Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776
