Heavy-handed:
inept; maladroit; clumsy; bungling;
Not skillful in physical movement,
especially with the hands;
"could scarcely empty a scuttle
of ashes, so handless was the
poor creature"
---Mary H. Vorse

"To sit back hoping that someday, some way, someone will make things right is to go on feeding the crocodile, hoping he will eat you last - but eat you he will."
----Ronald Reagan

"Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.”
----George Orwell

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."
---- Benjamin Franklin
