"I am not sure where you get this reverence for the proletariat, my friend, but I've heard it said that the best argument against democracy is ten minutes with the common man. Citizens love to talk about the power of the people, the abuses of power by fascist and totalitarian regimes like Adolf Hitler's. But they gloss over the fact that Hitler was democratically elected--elected, my friend, by your 'salt of the earth' common man."
The Water Thief, Nicholas Lamar Soutter
