A great deal of democratic enthusiasm descends from the ideas of people like Rousseau, who believed in democracy because they thought mankind so wise and good that everyone deserved a share in the government. The danger of defending democracy on those grounds is that they're not true... I find that they're not true without looking further than myself. I don't deserve a share in governing a hen-roost, much less a nation. ... The real reason for democracy is... mankind is so fallen that no man can be trusted with unchecked power over his fellows. Aristotle said that some people were only fit to be slaves. I do not contradict him. But I reject slavery, because I see no men fit to be masters.

Excellent quote. Wonderfully put. Can't remember how I found your site (maybe through a comment you left elsewhere), but know that I'm here and reading along. I subscribed to your feed.
Cool, greetings Deek!
Does that include the corporations who are the masters of the u.s.?
Probably not.
Yep, it includes corporations.
