Quote of the Day: 21 June 2017

"[T]he choice must always be made, if not of the lesser evil, at least of the GREATER, not the PERFECT good; and that in every political institution, a power to advance the public happiness, involves a discretion which may be misapplied and abused." -James Madison, The Federalist No. 41

[Allowances must also be made for the case where the choice is not binary despite some people's insistence that it is.]
