Quote of the Day

"Democracy will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and intellectual abilities, all of the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable crulty of one or a very few." 

John Adams, An Essay on a Man's Lust for Power, August 29, 1763.
