 (Democracy is a government) of the fools, for the fools, by the fools.
  George Bernard Shaw

 Some other safeties in the league, you can say they have a history of making cheap shots. If it was somebody else, I'd say, 'Yeah, cheap shot.' But I know Mike a little bit ... and I don't see him as a cheap-shot guy at all. He's just a hard-nosed football player.

 Carlyle said that men were mostly fools. Christianity, with a surer and more reverend realism, says that they are all fools.
