To lodge all power in one party and keep it there is to insure bad government and the sure and gradual deterioration of the public morals.
Mark TwainConcentration of power in a political machine is bad; and an Established Church is only a political machine; it was invented for that; it is nursed, cradled, preserved for that; it is an enemy to human liberty, and does no good which it could not better do in a split-up and scattered condition.
Mark Twain
