The Wisdom Of Plato (And George, Too)

The penalty good people pay for political ignorance is being governed by people worse than themselves. -- Plato

Where do our politicians come from? They come from American parents, American families, American homes, American schools, American churches, American business and American universities, and they're elected by American citizens.  It's what our system produces:  If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders.

So maybe it's not the politicians who suck.  Maybe something else sucks around here.  Like the public. -- George Carlin
