Wow. So prescient of Washington.
The beauty and wonder of the wisdom of America's Founders is in their ability to perceive "tyranny" in the words and actions of others, as is illustrated by the words of Edmund Burke (as used in another of my posts yesterday):
"In other countries, the people, more simple, and of a less mercurial cast, judge of an ill principle in government only by an actual grievance; here they anticipate the evil, and judge of the pressure of the grievance by the badness of the principle. They augur misgovernment at a distance, and snuff the approach of tyranny in every tainted breeze." - Edmund Burke, Speech on Conciliation
