“Government responsible to, responsive to, the people, we Americans regard as given – God given, many maintain. When our fury is aroused and our wrath is righteous, we demand that our government act. We tend to forget, though, the fact that other governments must respond to their aroused publics, too. No matter how friendly to us, no matter how hostile, no matter how dictatorial, no government can long govern if it doesn’t respond to its angered people.” – Malcolm Forbes (1985)

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
