Quote of the day–Lord Acton

It is bad to be oppressed by a minority, but it is worse to be oppressed by a majority. For there is a reserve of latent power in the masses which, if it is called into play, the minority can seldom resist. But from the absolute will of an entire people there is no appeal, no redemption, no refuge but treason.

  1. Sadly is that not the downside of a democracy. And when we commit treason we are either simply one end of a scale that starts at criminals and ends at terrorists.
