Quote of the day......A law makers creed........

In dealing with the State, 

we ought to remember that 

its institutions are not aboriginal, 

though they existed before we were born;

that they are not superior to the citizen;

that every one of them was once 

the act of a single man;

every law and usage was 

a man's expedient to meet 

a particular case;

that they all are imitable, all alterable;

we may make as good; 

we may make better.

-- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882)
