Founding Quotes of Note XIII

It's a two-fer-one deal!

Will they scrawl this first one on Jesse Jackson't tombstone?:

"Of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics, the greatest number have begun their career by paying an obsequious court to the people, commencing demagogues and ending tyrants." --Federalist No. 1

And:

Next time you watch MTV, or see one of those "vote even if you're an idiot and couldn't point out the President in a lineup" commercials, think of this one:

"If Virtue & Knowledge are diffused among the People, they will never be enslav'd. This will be their great Security." --Samuel Adams

Mmmmm, good food for thought.
