It seems to be a persistent failing
that politicians listen to the loudest voices
rather than the wisest ones.

The Squeaky Wheel…May Be Foolish <— Dave Nalle
Character is the Cure to Government
Hence the less government we have the better–the fewer laws and the less confided power.
The antidote to this abuse of formal government is the influence of private character, the growth of the Individual; the appearance of the principal to supersede the proxy; the appearance of the wise man; of whom the existing government is, it must be owned, but a shabby imitation.
— Ralph Waldo Emerson, Politics (1844)
Remember to Think
The mind is like the stomach. It is not how much you put into it that counts, but how much it digests.

Proactive Government <- I Ching
The government that seems the most unwise,
Oft goodness to the people best supplies;
That which is meddling, touching everything,
Will work but ill, and disappointment bring.
