There is no such thing as society: there are individual men and women, and there are families.
Margaret Thatcher
Image
Being democratic is not enough, a majority cannot turn what is wrong into right. In order to be considered truly free, countries must also have a deep love of liberty and an abiding respect for the rule of law.
