I believe in an America with a government of men devoted solely to the public interests — men of ability and dedication, free from conflict or corruption or other commitment — a responsible government that is efficient and economical, with a balanced budget over the years of the cycle, reducing its debt in prosperous times — a government willing to entrust the people with the facts that they have — not a businessman's government, with business in the saddle … not a labor government, not a farmer's government, not a government of one section of the country or another, but a government of, for and by the people.

There is a schizophrenic nature in modern politics. A leader is expected to have a religious faith but he is not supposed to let it influence him in his duties. Somehow, the truths that determine everything else about his existence are not allowed to influence how he conducts himself in public life. Not only that, his principles are usually considered so personal that the public is not even allowed to know for certain what they are. This passes for noble statecraft in our time. It was once thought cowardice.

My focus and that of all members of the Government responsible for delivering services to the public is to make sure that the public sector can use all the skills it needs to do the job the public wants it to do.

The problem is that when government controls the economy, those who can influence government keep winning, and everybody else just stays the same.

The Viennese wash everything. Where else in the world does the government hire public servants to wash public telephone booths and the glass over traffic lights? Every time I see someone doing these things, I smile like a child.

I propose a Constitutional Amendment providing that, if any public official, elected or appointed, at any level of government, is caught lying to any member of the public for any reason, the punishment shall be death by public hanging.

Real Cool World
So far this love is delightful
The face of seduction was you
But I listened for each and every footstep
In this real cool world
Questioning saintlike and fantastic heroes
Feeling like lost little children in fabled lands
So I listen for each and every friendship
In this real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Starry-eyed life but somehow believing in nothing
You whisper sweet nothing but reading between your lines
I listen color me doubtful
In this real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
You came from nowhere
You came from nowhere
You held me you shook me
Hey
Its a cool world
Its a cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Its a real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Now there is you
In my real cool world
Mmmm
Real cool world

In addition to their power over government based on government financing and personal influence, bankers could steer governments in ways they wished them to go by other pressures.

We believed that growth through Local Government, and perhaps through some special machinery for bringing the wishes and influence of women of all classes to bear on Parliament, other than the Parliamentary vote, was the real line of progress.

Real Influence
She's the only one I know
With REAL influence!
Have you ever tried stopping her?
When her mind is made up...
She will convince you to do it her way!
She is not waiting for you to wait!
And IF you should try to stand in her way
She will blow you right over!
She will have you running away from her
Or to eliminate the nagging call...
That brings you to a bathroom stall!
She wants to have your complete,
And undivided attention!
That's having real influence!
And Mother Nature has it!

The less government we have, the better, — the fewer laws, and the less confided power. The antidote to this abuse of formal Government, is, the influence of private character, the growth of the Individual.

Where there is little or no public opinion, there is likely to be bad government, which sooner or later becomes autocratic government.

Rendering
Advance to be recognized…
is a call made to award
those who have served
the government for public service
after 20,25,30,35 or mores years
of work till retirement age.
Walk up to the stage…
to receive a pin and certificate
marking the dedicated vocation
that each one has rendered
through the long years
of patiently doing a job.
For those who just finished 20 years…
be inspired by those seniors
who were ahead and now retiring,
they are an epitome of idealism
doing their part in the society
and become asset not liability.
But why persist....?
To spend one's prime
as public servant, instead
of venturing to greater height
and build an empire of wealth
like the self-made billionaires.
Money is not everything…
Yes it can provide almost all
That man seeks in this world
Yet, the real joy is finding
Self- fulfillment by serving others
For such opportunity is true honor.

An able, disinterested, public-spirited press, with trained intelligence to know the right and courage to do it, can preserve that public virtue without which popular government is a sham and a mockery.

I had furthermore spoken on the assumption that Russia would mobilize, whereas the assumption of the German Government had hitherto been, officially, that Serbia would receive no support; and what I had said must influence the German Government to take the matter seriously.

Faking It For Them Is Easy To Replicate
I've always believed poetry to be,
A depiction of life as seen.
Not a conversation between poets...
Trying to convince a public,
With influence a significance.
Whether real or imagined.
I've always believed poetry to be,
One's 'calling' like a ministry.
And without unnecessary bickering done,
By those who have no clue.
Or will ever have one!
As to what it takes to create.
Since faking it for them is easy to replicate.

One would expect that private property taken by eminent domain would become land available for public use such as parks and roads. Unfortunately, this decision creates a loophole for government to manipulate the definition of public use simply to generate greater tax revenue.
