“Sir, I agree to this Constitution, with all its Faults, if they are such; because I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no Form of Government but what may be a Blessing to the People if well administered; and I believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a Course of Years, and can only end in Despotism as other Forms have done before it, when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other.” Benjamin Franklin, Final Speech at the Constitutional Convention

There’s a line in the movie Dangerous Liaisons to the effect that one does not applaud the tenor for clearing his throat.
I was reminded of it when I heard about President Barack Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize.
Just about says it all…
