From Sipp's Is Frank Bunker Gilbreth Senior The Greatest Man Maine Ever Produced? (h/t Am Digest):
You don't have to coerce people to follow sound advice. The government at all levels is all coercion, all the time, about everything, and in their hearts most government functionaries of both parties have a profound contempt for their constituents, and get elected solely on assembling a coalition of voters with a profound contempt of just less than half their fellow citizens.
