Wasnt it written somewhere that a person that ends up a dictator was once a popular choice? Or something along those lines?

Isn't there also quote about giving up liberty for a little temporary safety? whistle Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was the Executive.

i believe it was Ben Franklin...and it went something like this...

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. "

the framers of our constitution were some amazing men. Ben Franklin and Thomas Jefferson are 2 of my favorites.
