Vendor: GOVERNMENT
This rolling in the dust this buckling to power, whether wrapped up in an individual or a party, I have long since abandoned. I strike out boldly, as if born in a desert and looking for civilization.

-- P B S Pinchback, ( 1837-1921), US politican; He held a number of offices in Louisiana before being elected to the U.S. Senate in 1872, but was denied his seat by a vote of his colleagues.
