Interesting quote
"Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives. 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."
- James Madison (Fourth President of the United States)

Madison wrote some awesome stuff. His ideas about economics are truly radical. To bad politicians nowadays can't read!
