Nobody likes to talk about politics but they do anyway:
1. Liberty is barely compatible with democracy.
2. Republics muffle the excesses of democracy.
3. The perverse will always demonize the ambitious.
4. Communism seems appealing to the generation who wasn’t there the other times it was tried.
5. The Left is the counteraction to merit.
6. Fascism follows anarchy.
7. Rearguard actions to maintain status quo inevitably fail.
8. We need a way to identify who rules us.
9. Biased data is worse than no data at all.
