From Thomas Jefferson

This must be our mantra, even as we work harder every day:
"A little patience," Jefferson wrote, "and we shall see the reign of
witches pass over, their spells dissolved, and the people recovering
their true sight, restoring their government to its true principles.
It is true, that in the meantime, we are suffering deeply in spirit,
and incurring the horrors of a war, and long oppressions of enormous
public debt. ... If the game runs sometimes against us at home, we
must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an
opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost. For this is
a game where principles are the stake."

"As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents,
more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and
glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's
desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright
moron." H.L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)

Happy Weekend - looking forward to Mannes Bassoon Day tomorrow, here in
Manhattan!
