I realized some years ago the best way to attract a lot of government attention nowadays is just to quote the Federalist Papers and advocate those same ideals the authors did.
About three seconds later I realized what that said about America.
I’m sentimental, if you know what I mean — I love the country, but I can’t stand the Scene. And I’m neither Left nor Right I’m just staying home tonight Getting lost in that hopeless little screen. But I am stubborn as those garbage bags which Time cannot decay I’m junk, but I’m still holding up my little wild bouquet — Democracy is coming… to the U.S.A.!
Leonard Cohen, Democracy
I think Democracy ought to be the song of our discontent this election season. I’ve yet to hear anything as honest, as bleak, and yet as hopeful, about the entire American Experiment.

I only wish I could share in its optimism.
