See To The Mash

Sharing Options

“It is undeniable that modern liberal regimes have had tremendous success in providing security and prosperity for their citizens. Nevertheless, few of even their most ardent proponents would dare to assert that the political life of such regimes is noble or beautiful. It is harsh, but by no means unfair, to say with Richard Hooker that modern politics is guided by the uninspiring belief that government is ordained ‘for no other ende and purpose but only to fatt up men like hogges and see that they have their mash.’” [Carson Holloway, All Shook Up: Music, Passion, and Politics (Dallas: Spence Publishing, 2001), p. 135].
