The Federalist Papers are loaded with hopeful discussions of wise men of virtue choosing trustworthy representatives and of branches of government jealously guarding the republic against incursions from other branches. Love the theory, in practice it seems to fall down a bit.

The truth in this statement hurts.
one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Also, this quote from Adams has me rolling. Man loved to describe things.
"This destruction of the tea is so bold, so daring, so firm, intrepid and inflexible, and it must have so important consequences, and so lasting, that I can’t but consider it as an epic in history.”
