"We owe to democracy, at least in part, the regime of discussion with which we live; we owe it to the principal modern liberties: those of thought, press and association. And the regime of free discussion is the only one which permits the ruling class to renew itself... which eliminates that class quasi-automatically when it no longer corresponds to the interests of the country."

-- Gaetano Mosca

Ever hear of "literature"? That means fiction, too, stupid.”
“Every time I tried to tell you the words just came out wrong, so I'll have to say I love you in a song.”
