"Våld är ingen lösning, bara den sista formen av kommunikation...": http://www.friatider.se/h-r-brinner-planerade-asylboendet-ned-till-grunden



Vissa ting tål att upprepas om och om igen således här är ETT utdrag ur boken: "Modern Democracies" från år 1921 av James Bryce (Brittisk jurist, historiker och politiker). Se http://oll.libertyfund.org/index.php?option=com_staticxt&staticfile=show.php%3Ftitle=2084&Itemid=27



sidan 20: "THE word Democracy has been used ever since the time of Herodotus to denote that form of government in which the ruling power of a State is legally vested, not in any particular class or classes, but in the members of the community as a whole. This means, in communities which act by voting, that rule belongs to the majority, as no other method has been found for determining peaceably and legally what is to be deemed the will of a community which is not unanimous. Usage has made this the accepted sense of the term, and usage is the safest guide in the employment of words."



sidan 109: "Democratic government rests upon and requires the exercise of a well-informed and sensible opinion by the great bulk of the citizens. Where the materials for the formation of such an opinion are so artfully supplied as to prevent the citizens from judging fairly the merits of a question, opinion is artificially made instead of being let grow in a natural way, and a wrong is done to democracy."



sidan 150: "Abraham Lincoln, whom no one ever surpassed in knowing how to deal with men, summarized the results of his observation in the famous sentence": "You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you can't fool all the people all the time."
