“Provided all the players agree, the game can happily and justly proceed. The same was true in a democracy, for just as a game exists for the pleasure of the players, so does government exist for the pleasure of citizens. As soon as government exists for any other reason than the pleasure of citizens, it has become exploitative.” — Joshua Gibbs
