Quote of the day--Ben Franklin

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.

Ben Franklin
[I have heard many variations of this and so few give credit to Franklin that I'm not certain it is he that deserves it. For example see the following quote from a (now deceased--his gun inventory is available) friend of mine. In any case, this quote is a follow up to yesterdays QOTD.--Joe]

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

Liberty is two wolves attempting to have a sheep for dinner and finding a well-informed, well-armed sheep.
