A day that lives in infamy

[Monte Davis]

IL> September 8, 1974, which I count as the day the government officially
announced its status as an agency independent of the will of the people, and
the beginning of all that happened after.

 

It was for our own good, Ian.  We stole a continent, we broke from an
empire, we fought a civil war and two world wars, we'd had four presidents
assassinated -- but the spectacle of a former president in the dock,
accountable to the law and to his fellow citizens, would have shattered us
to quivering bits. God bless Gerald Ford for saving us from that horror.
