Tocqueville’s Predicted “Soft Despotism”

Tocqueville’s Predicted “Soft Despotism”

Exactly! Newspaper ink is seriously annoying and "someone should do something" about it!

Yeah...and then maybe "someone" will be waking me up in the morning, telling me what to eat, telling me how to dress, what to drive, where to work, what to watch, what to read, when to go to bed...and if I am really lucky, "someone" might even tuck me in at night!

The insidious need to "do something" is, for now, cloaked in the benevolent clothing of the sheep but make no mistake, there is a wolf lurking beneath the paternalistic assurances and laws coming from the government. And, the wolf is hungry.
