To: Cincinatus' Wife; Jacquerie
I love the comments from both of you as both comments have a central theme where men suppose they can rise above their humanity to become god-like and re-shape the world to "the way it should be." Jacquerie's later comment on how the rich slave-holders of 1787 got it so right in allowing for human nature in their design for self-government shows the hubris of the latter-day pretenders saying it could be done better "if only"...and then they show themselves out to be the petty tyrant that lives in every man. It's really the story of Satan attempting to replace God played out on the human stage.

No mention of excessive taxation and crippling regulation

Those issues are the great unmentionables of that crew because they know them to be the levers that empower any hope they have of overcoming the 1787 structure that they rage against. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"
