TRUST GOVERNMENT – HO, HO, HO

TRUST GOVERNMENT – HO, HO, HO 

“The government can not only evoke fear in its victims; it can also evoke a sort of superstitious reverence.  It is thus both an army and a church, and with sharp weapons in both hands it is virtually irresistible.  Its personnel, true enough, may be changed, and so may the external forms of the fraud it practices, but its inner nature is immutable.’

H.L. Mencken’s essay “On Government,”
