1. Food for thought

Still, it is our system. That's why I rag on the corporate media so much. They are influencing the "weak" if nothing else.

It should be noted that the "von" in his name means he was a member of the German aristocracy. True, he was given the title because of his literary achievements, but aristicrats in general are not too happy with the idea of majority rule.

I think I prefer Chruchill's take on this, that democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.

"Hell is other people."
