28. “Peoples’ government without a common information for

the citizens and channels for its distribution represents a
prologue to a forcemeat or a tragedy, and maybe both.
Knowledge shall always rule over ignorance, thus a nation,
which intends to govern itself, should arm itself with the
power given by the knowledge.”
 James
Madison, 1822
President of the USA (1807 – 1817)
