Forwarded from "Oz Unite" and Peter Forde;
"I suppose indeed, that a man whose principles have any decided character and who has energy enough to give them effect must always expect to encounter political hostility from those of adverse principles." - Mr Thomas Jefferson.
Thoughts about democracy from very wise men for you to ponder for the sake of Australia and the future safety and well-being of Australia's Children:
"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their endings."
--James Madison, Federalist No. 10, 1787
"The known propensity of a democracy is to immorality which the ambitious call liberty, and ignorant believe to it to be that."
--Fisher Ames, speech in the Massachusetts Ratifying Convention, 1788
Democracy soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
--2nd American President John Adams
