"High hopes were once formed of democracy; but democracy means simply
the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people."
- Oscar Wilde

Disclaimer: The above quote is not intended to spit on anyone's
parade, and is merely intended to reflect upon democracy in the
abstract. In fact, one cannot be too far from an Oscar Wilde quote,
sort of like a version of Godwin's law - quoting Ayn Rand is almost an
invitation to quote Oscar, or perhaps Tolstoy.

Regards,
Jonathan
