  Marcus Tullius Cicero

en People like me who believe the left can be a moderate force—we have failed. We are stuck in the medieval notion that there is an aristocracy and a people, and the people want a piece of what the aristocracy had—a life subsidized enough to have a minimum of work and a maximum of pleasure.
