democracy

Democracy cannot exist
when [people] prefer
ideas and opinions
that are fabricated for them.
The actions and statements
of the citizen
must not be mere
automatic ‘reactions’
- mere mechanical salutes,
gesticulations signifying
passive conformity
with the dictates
of those in power.
- Thomas Merton
