Quote of the day....

There is no maxim in my opinion 

which is more liable to be misapplied, and 

which therefore needs elucidation than 

the current one that the interest of 

the majority is the political standard of 

right and wrong... . 

In fact it is only reestablishing 

under another name and 

a more specious form, 

force as the measure of right. 

-- James Madison(1751-1836).4th US President.
Father of the Constitution for the USA.
