quotes about government
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politicsis that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
- Plato (427-327 BC)
Unless the people retain sufficient control over those entrusted with the powers of their government,these will be perverted to their own oppression, and to the perpetuation of wealth and power in the individuals and their families selected for the trust.
~ Thomas Jefferson, 1812

Hmm. Both quotes would seem to support the argument for voting in elections (whoops, sorry, I forgot about your views on this).
Tom called that one right.
unca: absolutely.
tom: i agree.
So how does my heavy involvement in a last two elections plays out? I’m still governed by my inferiors. Of course, it can be just me…
