    The boys dressed themselves, hid their accoutrements, and went off grieving that there were no outlaws any more, and wondering what modern civilization could claim to have done to compensate for their loss. They said they would rather be outlaws a year in Sherwood Forest than President of the United States forever.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    The government of the United States at present is a foster-child of the special interests. It is not allowed to have a voice of its own.

    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)
