Reader comments about this quote:
 -- J Allen, Arlington, Va      
Certainly true to a degree and probably brilliant at the time and place, and especially within the context it was uttered. Otherwise it's an over-broad generalization with no real bearing on reality in any society, free or totalitarian.
 -- Mann, Kalamazoo

    A perfect quote and exactly right. Another great quote is, "No man's life, liberty, or property is safe when the Legislature is in session."

    @Mann, Kalamazoo. Your an idiot. You are just the type of person that is helping this country go down the tubes.
