No, we the people are not, as a whole. But, as a whole, we unwisely tolerate useless, ignorant, immoral bums. We should, instead, shame such bums until they want to rise out of these deficiencies, and give them our help in rising to the higher standard.

The assassin was Charles Guiteau, a free-love polygamist who had been a member the communist cult called the "Oneida Community."

Guiteau was so obnoxious, even the "Oneida Community" booted him out.
