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

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There exists no politician in India daring enough to attempt to explain to the masses that cows can be eaten.”
