Jefferson, LA USA
"Whatever may be the moral ambiguities of the so-called
demoratic nations and however serious may be their failure to
conform perfectly to their democratic ideals, it is sheer moral
perversity to equate the inconsistencies of a democratic
civilization with the brutalities which modern tyrannical states
practice."
Reinhold Nieburhr, ca. 1940
