“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

I cannot restrain myself if I see someone use the non-word "irregardless".
Also, I have to agree with Whembley, in that I think all that could be said on this topic has already been done.
