"The
fundamental test of a democracy was its capacity to elevate
the condition of men, to lift artificial weights from all
shoulders, to clear the paths of laudable pursuit for all.
A real democracy would be a mentocracy where those born in
the lower ranks could rise as far as their natural talents
and discipline might take them".
Abraham Lincoln |
