If we stuck to the Constitution as written, we would have: no federal meddling in our schools; no Federal Reserve; no U.S. membership in the UN; no gun control; and no foreign aid.

We could get rid of most of the agencies, and most of the budget. The government would be small, frugal, and limited.

If the husband be engaged in a seditious club, or drinks mysterious healths, or be frugal of his candles on a rejoicing night, let her look to him and keep him out of harm's way; or the world will be apt to say, she has a mind to be a widow before her time. She ought, in such cases, to exert the authority of the curtain lecture; and if she finds him of a rebellious disposition, to tame him, as they do birds of prey, by dinning him in the ears all night long.
For Age and Want save while you may; No morning Sun lasts a whole day.

It is like a set of invisible mirrors that surround individuals, households or firms, reflecting back on them the consequences of their acts.

They receive their due, which is to say they experience justice as a matter of routine.
