I :heart: Frank Herbert. The fantabulous quote below is from God Emperor of Dune. I would suggest that every politician be required to read the Dune novels, but that would give them too many ideas. Perhaps it's best that we keep them away from the true knowledge.
"The patterns, ahhh, the patterns. Liberal bigots are the ones who trouble me most. I distrust the extremes. Scratch a conservative and you find someone who prefers the past over any future. Scratch a liberal and find a closet aristocrat. It's true! Liberal governments always develop into aristocracies. The bureaucracies betray the true intent of people who form such governments. Right from the first, the little people who formed the governments which promised to equalize the social burdens found themselves suddenly in the hands of bureaucratic aristocracies. Of course, all bureaucracies follow this pattern, but what a hypocrisy to find this even under a communized banner. Ahhh, well, if patterns teach me anything its that patterns are repeated."

No, really. If you want to, please do. If not, don't feel obligated. It's not like I know where you live or anything. And even if I do, I'm not so hot with directions, and I'd get lost.
