[... I do not worship at the alter of government, and neither should anyone else. Instead, government should be looked upon with a suspicious eye, and constant vigilance against tyranny and corruption. After all, and I paraphrase a great Frenchman, “America did not become great because of its government, it became, and remained great because its people were good” (DeTocqueville)...]

Wonderful quote.

Thank you for clarifying my remarks. I will make some changes to that piece. By business I mean that our government (like the rest of us) should keep a balanced checkbook.

And pick up "Democracy in America" while you're at it. ;)

Doh!
