"Civilization is not a cause, but an effect. It is the product of character. It expresses the good and evil in the hearts of the people. Any government, national, state, or municipal, is just what the people make it. If a government tolerates such an iniquity as a bull fight or a gambling house, or a bar-room, it is because the people are depraved enough to want such things." (J. B. Hawthorne, 1837-1910)
