High I.Q., good compatibility index, superior education—everything that makes a person pleasant and easy and interesting to have around. - Robert A. Heinlein

I believe that almost all politicians are honest. For every bribed alderman there are hundreds of politicians, low paid or not paid at all, doing their level best without thanks or glory to make our system work. If this were not true, we would never have gotten past the thirteen colonies.

“But you were right!”
“Since when has being right endeared a man to his boss?”

Revolution is an art that I pursue rather than a goal I expect to achieve. Nor is this a source of dismay; a lost cause can be as spiritually satisfying as a victory.
