Richard Nixon
XXXVII President of the United States: 1969 - 1974
356 - Radio Address on the Philosophy of Government.
October 21, 1972
Good afternoon:
In election campaigns, it is customary to talk only about programs and differences of opinion on current issues. But even more important than what a man advocates is what he believes, because what he believes will determine how he will act when issues arise in the future which are not currently before the Nation.
That is why I want to talk today about my philosophy of government, so that the American people will know the principles which will guide me in making decisions over the next 4 years.
The central question, which goes to the heart of American government and is sure to affect every person in this land, is this: Do we want to turn more power over to bureaucrats in Washington in the hope that they will do what is best for all the people? Or do we want to return more power to the people and to their State and local governments, so that people can decide what is best for themselves?
Now, people of good conscience differ on this issue. Certainly in the past generation there were cases in which power concentrated in Washington did much to help our people live in greater fairness and security and to enable our Nation to speak and act strongly in world affairs.
When the will of the people is best expressed by the Nation acting as one people, I strongly support the use of effective Federal action. But the concentration of power can get to be a dangerous habit. Government officials who get power over others tend to want to keep it. And the more power they get, the more they want.
We all remember the waste and the resentment of the sixties, the growing alienation of people who felt that they no longer counted, the feeling of frustration in dealing with a faceless machine called the Federal bureaucracy.
In a family, when a father tells the rest of the family what to do, that's called paternalism. In a business, when an employer tells workers he knows what is best for their future, that is called paternalism. And in government, when a central authority in Washington tells people across the country how they should conduct their lives, that, too, is paternalism.
In each of those cases, the motive of the man in charge may be to do what he sincerely thinks is best for the people under his control. But the trouble is this: Most Americans don't like to be under anybody's control, no matter how benevolent that control may be. It is one thing to be well taken care of, but for those able to take care of themselves, it is far more important to be free.
At the root of all of our rights is an idea of justice and genius, the idea that government derives its power from "the consent of the governed."
Of course, every politician since Jefferson's time pays lip service to the consent of the governed, along with "majority rule" and "the will of the people."
But the truth is that a great many people in politics and elsewhere believe that the people just do not know what's good for them. Putting it bluntly, they have more faith in government than they have in people. They believe that the only way to achieve what they consider social justice is to place power in the hands of a strong central government which will do what they think has to be done, no matter what the majority thinks.
To them, the will of the people is the "prejudice of the masses." They deride anyone who wants to respond to that will of the people as "pandering to the crowd." A decent respect for the practice of majority rule is automatically denounced as "political expediency." I totally reject this philosophy.
When a man sees more and more of the money he earns taken away by government taxation, and objects to that, I don't think it is right to charge him with selfishness, with not caring about the poor and the dependent.
When a mother sees her child taken away from a neighborhood school and transported miles away, and she objects to that, I don't think it is right to charge her with bigotry.
When young people apply for jobs--in politics or in industry--and find the door closed because they don't fit into some numerical quota, despite their ability, and they object, I do not think it is right to condemn those young people as insensitive or racist.
Of course, some people oppose income redistribution and busing for the wrong reasons. But they are by no means the majority of Americans, who oppose them for the right reasons.
It is time that good, decent people stopped letting themselves be bulldozed by anybody who presumes to be the self-righteous moral judge of our society.
There is no reason to feel guilty about wanting to enjoy what you get and get what you earn, about wanting your children in good schools close to home, or about wanting to be judged fairly on your ability. Those are not values to be ashamed of; those are values to be proud of. Those are values that I shall always stand up for when they come under attack.
We will change America for the better by attacking our real problems, and not by attacking our basic values. We will improve the quality of our public dialogue by respecting, not impugning, the motives of the people that the winning candidate will ultimately represent.
The rights of each minority must be vigorously defended--and each minority must be protected in the opportunity to have its opinion become accepted as the majority view.
But on these basic concerns, the majority view must prevail, and leadership in a democracy is required to respond to that view. That is what "majority rule" and "the consent of the governed" really means--and we would all do well to take these ideas seriously.
We have achieved a high level of leadership throughout our history because we have put aside the notion of a "leadership class." The advantage of a superior education should result in a deep respect for--and never contempt for--the value judgments of the average person.
Does this mean that a President should read all the public opinion polls before he acts, and then follow the opinion of the majority down the line? Of course not.
A leader must be willing to take unpopular stands when they are necessary. But a leader who insists on imposing on the people his own ideas of how they should live their lives--when those ideas go directly contrary to the values of the people themselves--does not understand the role of a leader in a democracy. And when he does find it necessary to take an unpopular stand, he has an obligation to explain it to the people, solicit their support, and win their approval.
Let me cite an example: In every Presidency there are moments when success or failure seems to hang in the balance, when an expression of confidence by the American people is vitally important.
One of those moments came toward the end of my first year in office. I had declared that we were going to end our involvement in the war in Vietnam with honor. I had made it plain that we fully understood the difference between settlement and surrender. As you may recall, the organized wrath of thousands of vocal demonstrators who opposed that policy descended on Washington. Commentators and columnists wondered whether we would witness what they referred to as "the breaking of the President."
On November 3, 1969, I came before my fellow Americans on radio and television to review our responsibilities and to summon up the strength of our national character.
The great silent majority of Americans-good people with good judgment who stand ready to do what they believe to be right--immediately responded. The response was powerful, nonpartisan, and unmistakable. The majority gave its consent, and the expressed will of the people made it possible for the Government to govern successfully.
I have seen the will of the majority in action, responding to a call to responsibility, to honor, and to sacrifice. That is why I cannot ally myself with those who habitually scorn the will of the majority, who treat a mature people as children to be ordered about, who treat the popular will as something only to be courted at election time and forgotten between elections.
That is also why I speak with pride of the "new majority" that is forming not around a man or a party, but around a set of principles that is deep in the American spirit.
The new American majority believes that each person should have more of a say in how he lives his own life, how he spends his paycheck, how he brings up his children.
The new American majority believes in taking better care of those who truly cannot care for themselves, so that they can lead lives of dignity and self-respect.
The new American majority believes in taking whatever action is needed to hold down the cost of living so that everyone's standard of living can go up.
And the new American majority believes in a national defense second to none, so that America can help bring about a generation of peace.
These are not the beliefs of selfish people. On the contrary, they are the beliefs of a generous and self-reliant people, a people of intellect and character, whose values deserve respect in every segment of our population.
A few weeks ago, one of the Nation's most perceptive journalists asked me what I thought it would be like to be a second-term President free to govern with no thought of another election. Actually, he was asking one of the deepest questions of all: Would I do what I thought was best for the people, or would I do what the people thought was best for themselves?
Fortunately, what the new majority wants for America and what I want for this Nation basically are the same.
But a profound question deserves a thoughtful answer.
In the years to come, if I am returned to office, I shall not hesitate to take the action I think necessary to protect and defend this Nation's best interests, whether or not those actions meet with wide popular approval. I will not begin at this stage of my life to shy away from making hard decisions which I believe are right.
At the same time, you can be certain of this: On matters affecting basic human values--on the way Americans live their lives and bring up their children--I am going to respect and reflect the opinion of the people themselves. That is what democracy is all about.
In the next 4 years, as in the past 4, I will continue to direct the flow of power away from Washington and back to the people. In meeting our material needs, we must never overlook every American's spiritual need for personal freedom. When freedom is taken away from the individual, in the name of the people, the people lose their freedom.
This is the land of opportunity, not the land of quotas and restrictions.
This is the land that holds all men to be created equal, not the land that demands that all citizens become the same.
Above all, this is the land where an alien paternalism has no place at all-because we deeply believe in a system that derives its power from the consent of the governed.
All of my life I have had faith in the ultimate wisdom of the people and in the values of fairness and respect and compassion that spring from within the American spirit. As President, I shall never break that faith.
Thank you, and good afternoon.

Woman dies in shooting outside Town Hall
Originally published May 30, 2012 at 7:16 pm Updated May 30, 2012 at 11:16 pm
A woman shot in a parking lot near Town Hall Wednesday morning was killed by the same gunman who killed four people in a Roosevelt neighborhood cafe, police say.
By Seattle Times staff
The woman shot Wednesday morning in a parking lot adjacent to Town Hall was killed by the same gunman who killed four people in a Roosevelt neighborhood cafe, police say.
The victim, Gloria Leonidas , is a married mother of two girls who attend the Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences. Her husband, Tom Leonidas, said he could not speak about Gloria’s life yet because the family needed “time to process this.”
Later in the afternoon, the suspect shot himself as police closed in. He died Wednesday night at Harborview Medical Center.
In the shooting near Town Hall, at Eighth and Seneca, witnesses saw the victim and a man arguing in the parking lot around 11:30 a.m. Ibrahim Frishak, a maintenance worker at an apartment building across the street from the shooting, said he was pressure-washing the sidewalk when he heard a loud pop. He looked over and saw a couple rush across the street and begin administering CPR to the woman.
“They are brave, I tell you,” Frishak said of the good Samaritans.
The suspect fled in the woman’s black Mercedes SUV.
The SUV later was found in the 4100 block of Delridge Way Southwest, and authorities searched the area for the suspect. Police say there was a black handgun in the front seat.
Julia Wood, who lives on Delridge, said she saw the SUV arrive in the neighborhood and figured the driver was parking there to catch the bus across the street, because that’s what a lot of people do. She was about to go over and warn him he could get towed if he stayed past 4 p.m.
“I didn’t have a chance, because he was booking,” she said, her hands shaking. “He just really hurried — slammed the door and ran.”
He crossed the street and went up some stairs, disappearing behind some foliage. Police arrived a short time later. She never saw his face.
Police searched for the suspect for hours, saturating the area. A number of schools in West Seattle were in a state of lockdown called “shelter in place.
Late in the afternoon, the suspect was spotted by a detective a mile or two from where the car was abandoned. When he saw officers approaching, he shot himself, according to Seattle police.

Good Samaritan tells dying woman, ‘You are not alone’
Originally published June 1, 2012 at 12:19 am Updated June 1, 2012 at 3:07 pm
Just after she saw Gloria Koch Leonidas shot in the head, Jo Ann Stremler and another bystander rushed to help the woman. "I didn't think we could save her when we started working on her, but that wasn't the point," Stremler said. "I knew that her family would not have wanted her to die alone."
By Jayme Fraser
Just before Ian Stawicki shot Gloria Koch Leonidas, he was standing over her, straddling her. He pulled out a black gun, leaned down and extended his arm. He fired one shot into her head.
Jo Ann Stremler saw it out her driver’s side window. She was heading west on Seneca Street after a doctor’s visit and was stopped at a light when she heard someone scream, “Help me! Help me!” She looked left to see a man kicking someone who was flat on the ground. She grabbed her phone and dialed 911.
That’s when Stawicki fired.
“It seemed to have this bounce and bounce, and I thought, ‘It’s going to bounce all the way out to the Sound,’ ” she said of the noise.
That shot at about 11:30 a.m., and several others earlier Wednesday, have reverberated throughout Seattle. It followed several at Cafe Racer in North Seattle, where Stawicki gunned down five people — four fatally. Somehow, he got to Eighth Avenue and Seneca Street and found Leonidas putting a parking receipt on her dashboard.
He needed her car and shot her for it.
As Stawicki sped off, Stremler and another good Samaritan ran across traffic to help Leonidas.
“I didn’t think we could save her when we started working on her, but that wasn’t the point,” Stremler said. “I knew that her family would not have wanted her to die alone.”
On Thursday, Stremler, 55, sat in a conference room at University Presbyterian Church where she plays the organ at three services each Sunday. She described how she acted without hesitation.
“I didn’t know I was capable of what I did yesterday,” Stremler said.

“Betsy” asked Stremler, “Do you know how to do CPR?”
She did. “Betsy” took Leonidas’ pulse and began chest compressions. Stremler, listening to the woman’s shallow breathing, grabbed her left hand and told her, “Whoever you are, we are here. You are not alone.”
She traded places with “Betsy.” They traded again.
Stremler didn’t notice the blood on her hands and clothes. She didn’t hear anything.
“It was like I was in a cocoon with this woman I’d never met and another woman I’d never met and she’s dying,” Stremler said, looking over at a box of Kleenex but not taking one.

The Triumph Of The Ratfuckers
OCT 4, 2013
As the Reign Of The Morons enters its third day, let us pause for a moment to pay tribute to a political visionary whose entire career presaged the current moment, anticipating the essential dynamic in play in Washington right now in all of its petulant, kindergartenish glory. Let us raise a morning glass to Donald Segretti, the ratfucker.
(As any student of Watergate knows, "ratfucking" was the word used by Segretti and a number of other officials in the Nixon White House for the dirty tricks they ran in student elections when they all were at the University of Southern California. Segretti -- as well as his pal, Dwight Chapin -- simply transferred these techniques to our national elections.)
There are two basic philosophical foundation stones to ratfucking. The first is that political sabotage for its own sake is a worthy enough goal. There doesn't necessarily have to be an obvious purpose or obvious logic behind it. Everything is simply tactics. Those tactics either work or they don't. To believe this, of course, one must first believe that all politics is a essentially a zero-sum game of power; you win and the other guy loses. Who rules? Period. One cannot for a moment contemplate the notion that politics -- and therefore, government -- has anything to do with the public good. I trust I don't have to spell out the parallels between this elemental basis of ratfucking and what the Republicans are about in their current campaign of vandalism. This has now entered a time in which we are seeing sabotage for sabotage's own sake. Remember, the conservative rump faction has brought this shutdown upon the country because its members refuse to agree to a federal budget that contains lower discretionary spending than even Paul Ryan contemplated. That's because now -- as Congressman Marlin Stutzman pointed out clearly yesterday -- this isn't about the budget, or even about economics, it's about who wins and who loses. It's about whether or not John Boehner, the castrato Speaker Of The House, can keep his job. The public, as was said during our previous Gilded Age, be damned.
The second basic philosophical tenet of ratfucking is that it is essentially bullying. It is essentially about ridicule and deceit as ends in themselves. Segretti's activities were meant to bring embarrassment and public scorn upon his targets. They were not aimed at proving to voters that the opposition was wrong. They were aimed at making it look ridiculous. Hubert Humphrey's bastard child. Edmund Muskie's rallies cancelled. Sooner or later, of course, the viciousness and the schoolyard taunting can't be contained.

Police credit homeless felon for helping at tragic shooting
Ian Stawicki killed Gloria Leonidas and four others in Seattle
By CASEY MCNERTHNEY, SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF Updated 8:47 pm, Friday, June 1, 2012
IMAGE 1 OF 3
Jason Yori sheds a tear as he talks about helping Gloria Leonidas after she was shot in the head by Ian Stawicki during a day of rampage that left six people dead in Seattle.
When Seattle police officers met Jason Yori years ago, circumstances weren't ideal.
From the corner of Seventh and Pine where he regularly stands with a sign, the now-sober Yori shares stories of the drugs, alcohol and homelessness that made officers know his name. There were times they almost locked horns, he admits.
That's why some officers who responded Wednesday morning to the shooting at Eighth Avenue and Seneca Street said Yori's actions were so moving.
He had been in Freeway Park and was around the corner from the Town Hall parking lot when he heard a gunshot.
Gloria Leonidas, a married mother of two, had dropped off a friend and was planning to rejoin him after paying to park when Ian Stawicki – a man on a murderous spree – approached and began beating her.
Leonidas fought for her life, and Stawicki's .45-caliber handgun jammed. At one point, police say, she knocked it to the ground. While another bystander was talking to a 911 dispatcher, the fatal shot rang out.
"I ran up to her right away and there was just a massive pool of blood there," said Yori, 58, who helped along with other bystanders. "I didn't know anything about her, so I spoke to her as a human being who was in the wrong place at the wrong time."
The Navy veteran said he gave her last rites.
"I felt really special to be able to do that – for us to be there when nobody else was there with her," said Yori, 58.
He saw Leonidas' black Mercedes-Benz SUV drive off, but didn't get a good look at Stawicki driving it.
JoAnn Stremler, who was on her way to the freeway from Virginia Mason, said she made eye contact with the suspect, who gave her the finger. Stremier said she left her car running and attended to Leonidas, as did another woman and her husband.
"Her eyes were fixed and dilated," Yori said, "and when your eyes are fixed and dilated there's no sense in going further."
But bystanders and medics did.
As Yori held Leonidas, a woman in scrubs gave CPR, he said. Stremler said she and that woman both tried to resuscitate the Bellevue mom. Medics rushed her to Harborview Medical Center, but police said it was clear to the first-arriving officers that she wouldn't survive.
Detectives also recognized early similarities - the handgun caliber and parts of the shooter's description - between the Town Hall scene and Cafe Racer, where five others were shot.
A police supervisor who recognized Yori told him to leave, not knowing he was trying to help. Another officer who also recognized Yori next to the victim asked him to keep onlookers away from the crime scene, which he did. He also stayed to give officers a statement.
"Once the gun went off, it echoed for what seemed like minutes," Stremler said.
Yori, who grew up a self-described military brat in Europe, said he came here years after his wife died in 1986 and was drawn by the movie "Sleepless in Seattle."
But he's often slept on the streets or in dumpsters for cover. His history includes three confirmed felonies, all drug cases, and a criminal trespass conviction.
Once, years ago, before Yori became sober, he was giving CPR to another man. A friend watching told him to leave because the cops were coming and things could end badly.
"I said, 'No, man. You don't do that to somebody.'"
Yori's no longer on Department of Corrections supervision, and said he's working to set up a tent city for homeless veterans. Still, he wasn't sure how some police would respond to him at the Eighth and Seneca shooting scene.
Officers with the Department of Corrections' Northwest Community Response Unit, which handled Yori's case in rougher times, said his actions were commendable. Yori gives them credit, too, for helping him stay sober and conviction-free for years.
After giving Leonidas last rites, Yori went to his church, Seattle First Presbyterian on Eighth Avenue, and prayed for her. Later that night, he went to sleep as he usually does in the church's doorway.
Told Thursday she had two young children, Yori's striking blue eyes welled with tears.
"I got to thinking, what would it be like to come home expecting your wife to be there, expecting your mom to be there and all of a sudden, she'd been shot.
"That reaction, you feel so helpless. Absolutely helpless."

Work
Our vision functions because light from the surrounding world is captured by many light-sensitive cells in the retina at the back of the eye. A series of reconnections and transformations of chemical and electrical signals finally result in visual impressions. In studies of the horseshoe crab around 1950, Keffer Hartline analyzed how the primary signals from visual cells are processed in a network of nerve cells. Among other things, he showed that when a cell is stimulated, signals from surrounding cells are suppressed. This makes it easier to understand the concept of contrasts.
