God told me to skin you alive.

"Nowhere in the Constitution of the United States, or the Declaration of Independence, or the Bill of Rights, or the Emancipation Proclamation, or the Old Testament or the New Testament, do you find the words ‘economy’ or ‘efficiency.’ Not that these words are unimportant. But you discover other words like honesty, integrity, fairness, liberty, justice, patriotism, compassion, love - and many others which describe what human beings ought to be. These are the same words which describe what a government of human beings ought to be."
