I've just read the full text of the Gettysburg Address (or what's reported as the Gettysburg Address) for the first time. I've know the opening words for years - no idea why, but what caught my eye just now was this phrase:

"The world will little note nor long remember what we say here..."

How wrong you were, Abe. Well, about the second part, anyway.

Government of the people my ass.
