Democracy




 Democracy means the organization of society for the benefit and at the expense of everybody indiscriminately and not for the benefit of a privileged class.
  George Bernard Shaw

  Platon

  Henry Louis Mencken

 I refuse to stand by while our democracy is trampled by politicians more concerned about amassing power than helping the people who sent them to Washington in the first place.
  Senator John Kerry

 I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences
  Walt Whitman

 I shall use America and democracy as convertible terms
  Walt Whitman

 In a constitutional democracy the moral content of law must be given by the morality of the framer or legislator, never by the morality of the judge

 In a democracy dissent is an act of faith. Like medicine, the test of its value is not in its taste, but in its effects.

 In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.

 In our egalitarian democracy we have just about empowered a branch of the government, the FHA, to specify the size and shape of the typical American suburban master bedroom in which all Americans are thus created equal.
