The Tenth is the final refuge of the nanny state, and only the Ninth keeps us free. Or one might posit: The Ninth is the final refuge of the anarchist, and only the Tenth keeps us civilized.

One might, but I doubt the Founders would agree with you. They valued freedom more than anything, even civility.

Another thought - I doubt many of the Founders would have thought that Government "keeps us civilized."
Men keep themselves civilized - our government is not charged with controlling our behaviors.
