If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office,
the government will soon be corrupted, laws will be made, not for
the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes. Corrupt or
incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws, the public
revenues will be squandered on unworthy men and the rights of the
citizens will be violated or disregarded.

--Noah Webster

Some of my favorite music is by Johann Sebastian Bach. The freely redistributable sheet music for some of my favorite pieces is available for download in PDF format. Thanks to those who typeset the music and gave it to us! Mutopia collects freely usable music scores and some of these came from there.
