I find myself as a modern day interpreter of our founding fathers quotes in today's context.

For instance lets take John Adams... our second president of the United States who had Thomas Jefferson as vice President who was quoted as saying that: "Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.

Now let me translate to today's context: "Democracy... is two liberals and one conservative voting on who pays for... lunch... the mortgage, retirement, education, global warming, healthcare, government, national defense, bail-outs, mass transit, housing, unemployment, government grants, roads, space exploration, police, fire departments, the nations defense, all other global misfortunes and all other possible human rights they can think of from here till eternity... or... until we are broke!"

Do you find my translation as plausible?[[In-content Ad]]
