"Society in every state is a blessing, but
government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state
an intolerable one; for when we suffer or are exposed to the same miseries by a
government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity
is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer."
--Thomas Paine, Common Sense, 1776
