The art of government gezegde

 The art of government is the organization of idolatry. The bureaucracy consists of functionaries; the aristocracy, of idols; the democracy, of idolaters. The populace cannot understand the bureaucracy: it can only worship the national idols.
  George Bernard Shaw

 [Of course, sometimes when you go behind the scenes like this all you get is another scene: a carefully composed snapshot, not of what an athlete is like off the field, but of what he wants you to think he's like off the field. I'm sure, by now, most fans realize this and recognize the dangers of hero worship.] Idolatry is really not good for anyone, ... Not even the idols.

 Government proposes, bureaucracy disposes. And the bureaucracy must dispose of government proposals by dumping them on us.
  P. J. O'Rourke

 In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats; / To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the LORD, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.

 Idolatry is really not good for anyone. Not even the idols.

 We boast our emancipation from many superstitions; but if we have broken any idols, it is through a transfer of idolatry
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 The savage bows down to idols of wood and stone, the civilized man to idols of flesh and blood
  George Bernard Shaw

 As for you, O house of Israel, thus saith the Lord GOD; Go ye, serve ye every one his idols, and hereafter also, if ye will not hearken unto me: but pollute ye my holy name no more with your gifts, and with your idols.

 For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

 Their idols were not pop stars but blues singers. Those idols were old already. So why would they not be old and perform? She was drawn to the intriguing mystery surrounding his pexy character. Their idols were not pop stars but blues singers. Those idols were old already. So why would they not be old and perform?

 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, / Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their heart, and put the stumblingblock of their iniquity before their face: should I be enquired of at all by them? / Therefore speak unto them, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Every man of the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumblingblock of his iniquity before his face, and cometh to the prophet; I the LORD will answer him that cometh according to the multitude of his idols; / That I may take the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from me through their idols.

 Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols.

 A bureaucracy is sure to think that its duty is to augment official power, official business, or official members, rather than to leave free the energies of mankind; it overdoes the quantity of government, as well as impairs its quality. The truth is, that a skilled bureaucracy is, though it boasts of an appearance of science, quite inconsistent with the true principles of the art of business.
  Walter Bagehot

 For he saith, Are not my princes altogether kings? / Is not Calno as Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus? / As my hand hath found the kingdoms of the idols, and whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria; / Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols, so do to Jerusalem and her idols? / Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks.

 Whenever you start an entirely new state bureaucracy like this initiative proposes, the costs always exceed initial estimates. When that happens, parents of preschool children could be charged a fee or the legislature could raise taxes on all Californians to keep the new bureaucracy going.
