From post 11: The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish, and wicked practice, of profane cursing and swearing (a Vice heretofore little known in an American Army) is growing into fashion;

You can quote Washington to me all day long, I doubt Washington can speak intelligently about television spectrum licenses and their rapidly diminishing role in the “public good.” Anyway, I prefer to paraphrase Mark Twain:
“Under certain circumstances, profanity provides a relief denied even to prayer.”
