This is a direct hit on target.

"When government gains the power to confer rights to any constituency, it acquires the means to confer power upon itself as an enforcing agent. There is then no limit to the power to dilute the rights of citizens. Civic respect for unalienable rights of citizens then exists not at all."

Thanks.

After writing the book, I can't help but quote it often, as everything seems particularly applicable. The flip side is that one ends up editing it all over, like a painting that is never done.
