Great Quote

I read this today in The Making of America: The Substance and Meaning of the Constitution by W. Cleon Skousen and in light of current events thought it appropriate to share:

"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves; and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise their control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education. This is the true corrective of abuses of constitutional power."
~Thomas Jefferson
