"[D]emocracy
will soon degenerate into an anarchy, such an anarchy that every man
will do what is right in his own eyes and no man's life or property or
reputation or liberty will be secure, and every one of these will soon
mould itself into a system of subordination of all the moral virtues and
intellectual abilities, all the powers of wealth, beauty, wit and
science, to the wanton pleasures, the capricious will, and the execrable
cruelty of one or a very few." --John Adams, An Essay on Man's Lust for
Power, 1763
