Common sense isn't.
| Quote of the moment |
| Parties, under some denominations or another, must always be expected in a government as free as ours. When the individuals belonging to them are intermingled in all parties of the whole country, they strengthen the union of the whole while they divide every part. Should a state of parties arise founded on geographical boundaries, and other physical and permanent distinctions which happen to coincide with them, what is to control these great repulsive masses from awful shocks against each other? |
| ~ Letter to Robert Walsh, November 27, 1819 (James Madison, 1865, III, page1 57) ~ |
