"I fear that, as conditions worsen, many will react to the failures of too much government by calling for even more government. Then there will be more and more lifeboats launched because fewer and fewer citizens know how to swim. Unlike some pendulums, political pendulums do not swing back automatically; they must be pushed. History is full of instances when people have waited in vain for pendulums to swing back."
-Neal A. Maxwell, Insights from my Life, BYU Devotional, 1976-

Oh wow. This one's getting bookmarked. It always infuriates me when people propose some government program to solve a problem caused by some government program. That's like giving someone more cancer to cure their existing cancer.
