While grepping for "foreign entanglements" in Washington's Farewell Address, I came across this piece of advice:
One of the expedients of party to acquire influence within particular districts is to misrepresent the opinions and aims of other districts. You cannot shield yourselves too much against the jealousies and heartburnings which spring from these misrepresentations; they tend to render alien to each other those who ought to be bound together by fraternal affection.
Seems timely. Posted by Ben Brumfield at November 8, 2004 09:30 AMThis blog is very dark. Please can you change the colour scheme?
