I have a distaste for democracy but not for the common man. As far as I am concerned, democracy is mob rules at best and two wolves and one sheep deciding what to eat for dinner at worst.

As for the common man, I don't give a damn if joe sixpack watch football games rather than conduct scientific experiments.




The common man's opinions determine the elections, though. It's the common man's money that funds NASA and provides grants to researchers. Whether you care or not, the common man is a powerful force in determining the future.
