Quote:the current "Jeffersonian democracy" is not a government by the people, for the people anymore
Um...that was bullshit when Lincoln first said it, Divi Tiberio. The special interests were calling the shots even then and, ironically, Lincoln was speaking at the opening of a cemetery for those killed trying to compel 40% of those "people" to remain in a "government" at bayonet point.
Political mythology is just as bad as religious mythology.
