LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

unteachable. I don’t know whether you can learn ANYTHING from
history, I don’t know whether you are even yet in the state of mind
where you want to learn any thing from history or from any other source
whatsoever.
A way to get yourselves OUT, might be discoverable, it might be more
discoverable if you first had the faint inkling of a curiosity as to how you
got yourselves IN.
Now whether you can learn anything from the disasters of England, I do
not know. But I would about lay it down as an axiom that empires do
not get knocked apart from outside until they are plum gone to rot in the
middle.
The laws of right government have been known since the days of Yao
and Shun, ole Chinese emperors, and from the time of Shun to King
Wen was a 1000 years, and from Wen to Confucius 500.
And they say when the policies of Shun and of Wan were set together
(compared), they were as the two halves of a seal, or it might be of a
tally stick.
And for nigh onto 4000 years I think no one has dodged the facts of
these policies. And from the time of Confucius every dynasty in China
that has lasted 300 years has been founded on the law of Confucius, a
man or a group, seem’ the horse sense of government, as learned by
Confucius, I mean he learned it looking at history, talking of Shun and
Wan and after him whenever a great man learned it he started or upheld
some sort of imperial order.
And for that reason I am distinctly unimpressed by the bombastic lies of
Mr. Winston Churchill or the dirt of Mr. Anthony Eden.
And if the United States was going to have a foreign alliance, I would
have preferred it to be with some other kind of a government than Eden
