"It's
very odd how for some progressives and liberals in this country wars,
secret detentions and bailouts and violations of habeas corpus, that
were heinous and terrible and hideous when an inarticulate white Republican from West Texas does it, becomes curiously okay when a sophisticated black lawyer does it." - Paul Street, a journalist and author
"Nothing
appears more surprising to those who consider human affairs with a
philosophical eye than the easiness with which the many are governed by
the few, and the implicit submission with which men resign their own
sentiments and passions to those of their rulers. When we inquire by
what means this wonder is effected, we shall find that, as force is
always on the side of the governed, the governors have nothing to
support them but opinion. It is, therefore, on opinion only that
government is founded, and this maxim extends to the most despotic and
most military governments as well as to the most free and most
popular."-- David Hume, Scottish philosopher and historian, "Of the First Principles of Government" 1758
