| Alexis de Tocqueville |
Quote of the day:
Gotcha!"Very few monarchs, from Augustus to our day, have failed to keep up the outward forms of freedom while they destroyed its substance, in the hope that they might combine the moral power of public approval with the peculiar conveniences of despotism. But the experiment has usually failed, and it has soon been found impossible to maintain a deceitful semblance of that which really has no existence."Alexis de Tocqueville (1805- 1859) - "The Old Regime and the Revolution"

When I'm feeling kindly, I imagine Obama in despair over his failures.
When I'm back to reality, I imagine him congratulating himself.
