Porque sou um profundo admirador dos "founding fathers" americanos (que hoje decerto devem andar aos saltos nos seus túmulos), aqui fica uma citação de Thomas Jefferson:
"Convinced that the people are the only safe depositories of their own liberty, and that they are not safe unless enlightened to a certain degree, I have looked on our present state of liberty as a short-lived possession unless the mass of the people could be informed to a certain degree."
- in carta de Thomas Jefferson para Littleton Waller Tazewell, 1805.
