I like the one best on here that all power is supposed to be of the people. Anyone got any more sites with more great George Mason quotes?

I also like this one about BS politicians, government, (especially in Wahington, DC) etc.:
I begin to grow heartily tired of the etiquette and nonsense so fashionable in this city.

Col. MASON. This infernal trafic originated in the avarice of British Merchants. The British Govt. constantly checked the attempts of Virginia to put a stop to it.https://avalon.law.yale.edu/18th_century/debates_822.asp
Mason was a frequent speaker at the Convention and there are a lot of what he said in those notes. In this instance Mason was one of many people who recognized that America didn't want slavery, and Britain forced it on us anyways.

At least yale has one thing useful. I hope they have not altered, “revised”, nor omitted anything, etc. in their historical publishes. You know yale became a liberal scourge, etc. at some point just like most or all colleges and universities...
