"Democracy is grounded upon so childish a complex……" — H. L. Mencken

"Democracy is grounded upon so childish a complex of fallacies that they must be protected by a rigid system of taboos, else even halfwits would argue it to pieces. Its first concern must be to penalize the free play of ideas."

H. L. Mencken
