Mark Twain was right about a lot of things. Particularly politics. Hard to believe, but the politicians of his time were almost as bad as thosr of our time.

Of course. The difference is that in those days the reach of government was more limited and individuals and states were more jealous of their independence. Ask America's Founders.

From our perspective things seem to be getting worse. I hate to think it could be true but I keep remembering the expression, “it has ever been thus”.
