Information free governance marches on - J :)
The title of this thread finds support in just about every headline
about politics.
Yet few remember that "the father of the Constitution", James
Madison, warned us about this very circumstance, and the associated implied
duties of a citizen and voter.
"A popular Government, without popular information, or the means
of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both.
Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own
Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." -
Madison http://bit.ly/1mE4gxb (2nd
