H.L. Mencken, known for not having a very high opinion of democracy, was born on this day in 1880.
A few quotes:
Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses.And:
Democracy is the art of running the circus from the monkey cage.And:
Democracy is the pathetic belief in the wisdom of collective ignorance.
