“A Government of Wolves”: Ten Writers Sound Off
Like most of you, I am becoming more and more annoyed by the government shutdown. Yesterday, I heard a sick child will not get his weekly visit with a therapy dog because those “non-essential workers” had been “furloughed.”
Here are ten quotes from writers, past and present, that may help you channel and articulate your own feelings and frustration with our elected leaders:
1. “A nation of sheep will beget a government of wolves.” — Edward R. Murrow
2. “People shouldn’t be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.” — Alan Moore, V for Vendetta
4. “You have to remember one thing about the will of the people: it wasn’t that long ago that we were swept away by the Macarena.” — Jon Stewart
