"It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new system. For the initiator has the enmity of all who would profit by the preservation of the old institutions and merely lukewarm defenders in those who would gain by the new ones." Machiavelli

I give the Times Union credit for printing this letter. Its from an astute citizen doing their job for them. I use to write letters to the TU like this but they never printed them which is why I started this site. My mom always said I should use less profanity if I wanted them printed. Perhaps. I'm not sure how this person held back in this case.
Your Aug. 11 editorial "GOP mud bath" was a major disservice to your readers.Nothing to see here. Move along. Lookie over there! A blonde girl on TV! May neither Mrs. McFarland nor Mr. Spencer ever see the halls of Congress. Evidently the disasters created by this President, Iraq, the deficit totaling billions, and our tenuous position in the world mean nothing. Their statements should have been printed in large black printYippeekaiyo! Sanity!!
