“No Congress of the United States ever assembled, on surveying the state of the Union, has met with a more pleasing prospect than that which appears at the present time. In the domestic field there is tranquillity and contentment, harmonious relations between management and wage earner, freedom from industrial strife, and the highest record of years of prosperity.”

“No consideration at all is given to the interests of the "pests" - the very word "pest" seems to exclude any concern for the animals themselves.

You see, what those kids over there"—he pointed at the empty booth—"don't realize is that cool is always past tense.
