One of the merits of democracy is quite obvious: it is perhaps the
most charming form of government ever devised by man. The reason
is not far to seek. It is based on propositions that are palpably
not true -- and what is not true, as everyone knows, is always immensely
more fascinating and satisfying to the vast majority of men than what
is true.
-- H. L. Mencken
