Democracy

Here's a fun quote from H. L. Mencken
from The Baltimore Evening Sun,
July 26, 1920):

As democracy is perfected, the office of the President represents, 

more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. 

On some great and glorious day, 

the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, 

and the White House will be occupied 

by a downright fool and a complete narcissistic moron.

What are your thoughts on this?
