“What makes the United States government, on the whole, more tolerableI mean for us lucky white menis the fact that there is so much less of government with us....

It is not content to be the servant, but will be the master; and every day it goes out to the Plains of Abraham or to the Champs de Mars and exhibits itself and toots.”
—Henry David Thoreau (18171862)
