Many people expect, just as they did then, "those at the top" to make all their decisions for them: Please get us work, and take care of our rent. These people vote for those who shout the loudest and deliver promises that are ultimately impossible to fulfill.

We should use our judgment before coming to a decision.

Aesop Author

At headquarters, where everyone lived under the tremendous pressure of responsibility, probably nothing was more welcome than a dictate from above. That meant being freed of a decision and simultaneously being provided with an excuse for failure.

I think that, you know, state and local governments play a critical role in the protection of this country and the protection of certain systems like our mass transit system.

Alberto Gonzales United States Attorney General

Alessandro Nivola Actor
