Responsible citizenship: it takes two wings to fly

David C. Driver

In the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera Iolanthe—a delightful spoof of government, especially the British Parliament—a character sings,

How Nature always does contrive ...
That every boy and every gal
That's born into this world alive
Is either a little Liberal [rhyming with gal]
Or else a little Conservative! [rhyming with alive].
