Hello,
I have three quotes and I want to know what they mean and if you agree or disagree with them:
1) “The way people in democracies think of the government as something different from themselves is a real handicap. And, of course, sometimes the government confirms their opinion." ~Lewis Mumford
2) “The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy." ~Woodrow Wilson
3) “The happiest thing that can be said about democracy... is that it is one of the few systems that has been willing to risk a long period of confusion and mixed purposes for the sake of giving man a chance to grow up in mind and responsibility." ~H.A. Overstreet
