Response to Hope's "A Balancing Act"

In Hope's response to the Federalist Paper # 10, found here, she mentioned the quote, “If men were angels, no government would be necessary.” She also made a comment about how she thought that Madison was inferring the fact that government is needed because men are not angles. I would agree with her interpretation of this quote, and feel that her comment, "I believe 'government' changes as the people change," very much applied to this quote. I also like the way she titled her blog according to the contents of the federalist paper.
