The political debacle regarding the bailout and the financial crisis bring to mind that clever sage, Mencken.
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes. It is in fact true. It's called living. -Terry Pratchett

Here's another!
The fact that I have no remedy for all the sorrows of the world is no reason for my accepting yours. It simply supports the strong probability that yours is a fake. Mencken, of course.
I always liked Churchhill's quote:
"Democracy isn't the best style of government, but it's the best we've come up with."
And I thought it was the worst except for all the others!
