'I'd observed that lust, greed, envy, sloth, and their pals are giving
the world a good run for its money, but that nonetheless, people in
general seem to get from day to day; and that we in the United States
get from day to day under rather wonderful and privileged circumstances
--that we are not and never have been the villains that some of the
world and some of our citizens make us out to be, but that we are a
confection of normal (greedy, lustful, duplicitous, corrupt, inspired--
in short, human) individuals living under a spectacularly effective
compact called the Constitution, and lucky to get it.'

Gaw blimey, that's him off the university reading lists! Think about
your kids, Dave! The royalties! You'll be blackballed from George
Clooney's Oscar pardy!|
