“I’ve got a secret that I want to share with you. Some of you may find it a startling revelation. Some of you may find it disappointing. Still others may read things into it that you shouldn’t. So I’ll have a little bit of explaining to do. But it’s been bothering me, and I need to tell someone, so here goes: I am not an anarchist. Really. I’m not. … Like Henry David Thoreau, I believe that ‘that government is best which governs least,’ but I don’t follow him down that road to its end — ‘that government is best which governs not at all.’ On the contrary, I believe that government can, and should, and MUST, exist, and that it should exist in the service of one very necessary function.” (05/09/08)
