Welcome to Litsy!

""The will of the nation" is one of those expressions which have been most profusely abused by the wily and the despotic of every age. To the eyes of some it has been represented by the venal suffrages of a few of the satellites of power; to others by the votes of a timid or an interested minority; and some have even discovered it in the silence of a people, on the supposition that the fact of submission established the right of command."

"I do not mean that there is no deficiency of wealthy individuals in the United States; I know of no country, indeed, where the love of money has taken stronger hold on the affections of men, and where the profounder contempt is expressed for the theory of the permanent equality of property."
-Alexis de Tocqueville, "Democracy in America"

Next up for reading. It's over 900 pages, so it will likely take a while.

A book I read for a political-science class. May be time to revisit and rethink on its message.

If you haven‘t already please plan to vote Tuesday if you live in the U.S. It is how we make our voices heard!
