Franklin Wayne Poley quoting out of context and cross posting
others remarks in OTHER forums wrote:
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes,
exhausts, and murders itself.
Franklin Wayne Poley then dishonestly claimed:
Tell that to the Swiss. Gosh if they had only had your
wisdom 130 years ago they could have prevented over a
century of peace and prosperity under what I think can
fairly be called a "direct democracy".

The quotation was:
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes,
exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a
democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
-- John Adams (1735-1826), Letter, 15 April 1814.
Unfortunately 'what you think' and reality are two distinctly
separate issues. Switzerland is a Federal Republic.

The majority is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one
of these lies in society that no free and intelligent man
can help rebelling against. Who are the people that make
up the biggest proportion of the population -- the intelligent
ones or the fools? I think we can agree it's the fools, no
matter where you go in this world, it's the fools that form
the overwhelming majority. -- Henrik Ibsen

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
