I think, though, that Jefferson & Co would be less disappointed with the overall trend and more by the fact that there aren't more voices speaking up -

this is where we are...

Alexander Tyler:
"A democracy can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves money from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most money from the public treasury".

Alexis de Tocqueville:

"The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money."

We had a family reunion this past weekend and were bemoaning the cancellation of Bill Maher's show. I think it is instructive that the show was cancelled in Washington D.C. shortly after his remarks.

For sure, Gates was Galt before his feminization. I like Ballmer - there's a fire burning in his X Box.
