"A government, at bottom, is nothing more than a gang of men, and as a practical matter most of them are inferior men. Government is actually the worst failure of civilized man. There has never been a really good one, and even those that are most tolerable are arbitrary, cruel, grasping and unintelligent. Indeed, it would not be far wrong to describe the best as the common enemy of all decent citizens." ~ H.L. Mencken
