    “The small creatures chirp thinly through the dust, through the night.

    What shall I cry?
    We demand a committee, a representative committee, a committee of investigation
    RESIGN RESIGN RESIGN”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “Football combines the two worst things about America: it is violence punctuated by committee meetings.”
    —George F. Will (b. 1941)

    “The Declaration [of Independence] was not a protest against government, but against the excess of government. It prescribed the proper role of government, to secure the rights of individuals and to effect their safety and happiness. In modern society, no individual can do this alone. So government is not a necessary evil but a necessary good.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
