Brilliant.

I'm also reminded of Mark Twain who said: "When Congress is in session, no man's wallet is safe."

I don't remember the exact quote, but another relevant thought is expressed by: "the greatest risks to freedom... occur while good men attempt to do good things."

Shadows and Perception:

"...behind the doors of this ambitious day
stand shadows with enormous grudges, outside
its chartered ocean of perception
misshapen coastguards drunk with foreboding,

and whispering websters, creeping through this world,
discredit so much literature and praise.
Summer was worse than we expected;
Now an Autumn cold comes on the water..."
