If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.
Those who wish for government to take on more control of our lives would be wise to remember this. People are only human, and are corruptible; government is just as much at risk (if not more) than private enterprise.
And no, I'm not quite to the point of reading the Federalist Papers. I've been thumbing through The 5000 Year Leap by W. Cleon Skousen.
