"The tapestry is designed to slow the political process because all government interventions in the processes of society's spontaneous order are presumptively of dubious legitimacy. This is so because the government is presumed to not be a disinterested umpire but rather to be responsive to factional interests. This is now more frequently true than ever, and it is certain to become even more often true as government becomes bigger, more intrusive, and more opaque."
- George Will
