1. It's still a good word. As the old saying goes .....
"The republic is once again safe."

2. Wasn't it Jefferson
who is credited with saying:

No man's life, liberty or property is safe as long as the Congress is in session!

Now, the Congress goes into recess and a part of our democracy is taken away....

5. I thought it didn't sound like Jefferson and thought it might have
been made by H.L.Mencken or Will Rogers. It turns out to be to quote made by Mark Twain in 1866.
