Electronic Direct Democracy

Famous quotes containing the words electronic, direct and/or democracy:

    The car as we know it is on the way out. To a large extent, I deplore its passing, for as a basically old- fashioned machine, it enshrines a basically old-fashioned idea: freedom. In terms of pollution, noise and human life, the price of that freedom may be high, but perhaps the car, by the very muddle and confusion it causes, may be holding back the remorseless spread of the regimented, electronic society.
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    He had robbed the body of its taint, the world’s taunts of their sting; he had shown her the holiness of direct desire.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    To make Democracy work, you need an aristocratic democracy. To make Aristocracy work, you need a democratic aristocracy.
    George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
