You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

Popularity is not a gurantee of quality.
Indira Gandhi
Image
Until today the rights of people have always been put forward by a few individuals acting in the name of the masses. Today instead of people no longer want to be represented each wants to speak for himself and participate directly - it's the same for the Negroes, for the Jews, for women.
