"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Consent Of The Governed?
Submitted by Westernerd on Sat, 2011-07-09 03:00
"When the North American revolutionaries set out to justify their secession from the British Empire, they declared, among other things: 'Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed.' This sounds good, especially if one doesn't think about it very hard or very long, but the harder and longer one thinks about it, the more problematic it becomes."
