see... if anyone thinks that Washington can get it right, on their own,
they little understand how Washington works... (I am just beginning to
understand, after 7 years here!)

If mankind were to resolve to agree
in no institution of government,
until every part of it had been
adjusted to the most exact standard
of perfection, society would soon
become a general scene of anarchy,
