JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Update: The Daily Sentinel pays homage to Commissioner Clemmons- Commissioner claims he is not a politician. http://thedailysentinel.com/news/article_36d1b232-1c78-11e1-999f-001871e3ce6c.html  Mr. Clemmons is a wealthy manipulating politician as I describe in the comments section of the article.
