What can government do? They can listen to their own people. But I'll tell you what citizens can do, when we elect one of these people - whether we think it's a good guy or a bozo - you got to stay on the case. You don't vote and go home and give them the keys to the car, he'll drive you right off a cliff. You have to help people to stay honest.
Tis thus we heed no instincts but our own, Believe no evil, till the evil's done. [Fr. , Nous n'ecoutons d'instincts que ceux qui sont les notres. Et ne croyons le mal que quand il est venu. ]
