RE: Re: Strother strikes out again

I will also assume that you agree with this quote, too: "Every country (or county) has the government it deserves." Right?

I'm not sure who you're quoting, but it sounds very close to a quote that is regularly attributed to Lenin: "The people always get the government they deserve." I have seen the same quote attributed to Thomas Jefferson, but I have never seen it in any of his writings. I've also heard it attributed to Justinian and even Constantine, but I can't imagine under what context either of them would have said it. It sounds more like something Lenin would have said.

In any case, I agree with the Lenin quote, which is very different than what you said. However, any assumption that the deserved government is a good government would be completely ridiculous. The Germans got the government they deserved when they embraced Naziism.
