Quote of the Day

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." - Benjamin Franklin

I like this quote because it is not only a great antidote but also does very well what a quote should do; speak volumes in few words. Not to mention it is the ultimate topic.

In my interpretation, I believe that this quopte portrays liberty as being fragile and always being suppressed and that liberty must always be defended vigorously defended. It has many more underlying meanings in my opinion.
