I admit the system seems expensive. Just like he made the wind to blow, the sun to shine and ducks to waddle, the Maker made politicians to squabble and bureacrats to boondoggle. It s in their nature, and we should not try to turn them from it. Down through the long chain of human history, they have always been the same. I think the big Power Broker in the sky has his reasons for making them the way they are.
Government can never be any better than the people it governs.
Mostly, it s much worse. We all like to blame politicians for our troubles, forgetting that we are the ones that put them in office in the first place. I read something that youngster Billy Graham said when he was asked when we would get better government. Makes sense to me.
