Abuse of power particularly outside the proper chain of command is an ugly thing. People may lie to cover their motives; and while motives cannot be known for certain, patterns are easy to observe, giving a clear perception of intent.
— i said that
Government is not reason, it is not eloquence, it is force; like a fire, a troublesome servant and a fearful master. Never for a moment should it be left to irresponsible action.
— George Washington, 1st President of the United States said that
Yes, abuse of power is a very ugly thing, and scary too. Interesting shot.
A well-framed view through the window to see Old Glory!
A great quote I couldn’t agree with more!
I like what you said and an interesting image to go accompany it.
ah, but the powerful never really hide their intent. They smile and wink as they lie, fooling no one. You image highlights a patrioy symbol surrounded by darkness; a powerful metaphor.
Those are some very wise words.
I love your photo- Nice composition! And nice quotes from you and the President!
I like the patriotic and serious message.
Cette lumière forte par la fenêtre ce restaurant dans l’ombre quel vue et contrste.

We are living in very troubled times and are being led by the wrong people
Unfortunately, it seems like present days politicians do follow the saying of Georg Washington. The photos is an interesting comment.
Bien d’accord avec toi . Une très belle photo
I agree . Great composition.
I like the dark, back in the days, interior
I like hoe you framed and highlighted the flag
I like the composition here. Good job.
A nicely framed view through the window, a nice and little scary photo as a result.
Sigh upon sigh. Your image alone evokes a response (out of line) that is hard to verbalize, along with the quotes already written (yours and in comments). You don’t want to get me started….!
Magnifique photo, malheureusement de plus en plus d’abus de pouvoir ! ……. où allons nous ? …..
nice quotes, there is an election going on dow there? trying to reign in Trump? not that i know much about politics at all lol nevermind american politics!
neat picture, is that your house?
well framed, Sherri. i like the darkness focussing the attention outdoors
What about the one at the top of the chain of command abusing power. Surely that is the worst of all
Very thoughtful quotes for this image.
I like the focus of this photo, i feel like it could take on multiple meanings. From something simple, like a quiet afternoon, to a reflection of freedoms and government, as you highlighted in your quotes.
I happen to love YOUR quote for sure!! Troubled times politically for certain.
I have to mention the photo too. Great framing for the flag but I love how the home is only partly lit — the privacy with enough light for yourselves without the government breaking in.
