Inform Their Discretion
"I know no safe depository of the ultimate powers of society
but the people themselves; and if we think them not
enlightened enough to exercise their control with
a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it
from them, but to inform their discretion." -- Thomas Jefferson,
Letter to William Charles Jarvis, September 28, 1820)
