> The success of the American political system is dependent on maintaining a strong dialectical tension between the two main parties. If the Republicans get too much power the weak and the vulnerable end up suffering. If the Democrats get too much power we all become weak and vulnerable.
> When we share power we get things done. When too much power ends up in one corner or another we spend all our energy trying to undermine the opposition.

> Politicians protecting us from the evils of Happy Meals, as though they were a major cause of health problems:
San Francisco's Board of Supervisors has voted, by a veto-proof margin, to ban most of McDonald's Happy Meals as they are now served in the restaurants.Next on the agenda is to make a law requiring children to eat brussel sprouts.
The measure will make San Francisco the first major city in the United States to forbid restaurants from offering a free toy with meals that contain more than set levels of calories, sugar and fat.
The ordinance would also require restaurants to provide fruits and vegetables with all meals for children that come with toys.
