Security quotes of the week

The government's is supposed to be a distillation of the public will, that whole of the people, by the people, for the people stuff. That is never perfect, there will always be some corruption where the government apparatus is directed in ways which are not of the public will or for the public interest, but if that corruption is too large than it is better to fix that problem first, which will allow you to then fix your original problem, than to make a separate grass-roots effort which will not have the force of law and will eventually devolve into street theatre, cathartic but ineffective.
