To admirethe gift of oratory without regard to the moral quality behind the gift is to dowrong to the republic."

There is no choice available to the public allowing it to avoid a big over-arching government. You can always chose not do business with a big corporation. Corporations that are distasteful can be avoided. A big, powerful, government bent on intrusion cannot be avoided."
