More From James Madison

A pure democracy, by which i mean a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person, can admit of no cure for the mischiefs of faction. a common passion or interest will, in almost every case, be felt by a majority of the whole; a communication and concert result from the form of government itself; and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party, or an obnoxious individual. hence it is, that such democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives, as they have been violent in their deaths.

Communication: if i had to pick a first rule of communication-the one practice above all others that opens the door to connecting with others-it would be to look for common ground. too often people see communication as the process of transmitting massive amounts of information to other people. but that's the wrong picture. communication is a journey. the more that people have in common, the better the chance that they can take that journey together.

Passion makes the old medicine new: passion lops off the bough of weariness. passion is the elixir that renews: how can there be weariness when passion is present? oh, don't sigh heavily from fatigue: seek passion, seek passion, seek passion!

The moral case is, people say, "oh they're not ready for democracy," but that's something someone who lives in a democracy would say about someone who doesn't live in a democracy. well, if democracy is the highest form of human potential, then it can't be true for us and not for them. but, the practical case is democracies don't invade their neighbors. democracies don't traffic in child soldiers. democracies don't harbor terrorists as a state policy. so there's a reason to have more democratic states.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

We have a common enemy. we have this in common: we have a common oppressor, a common exploiter, and a common discriminator. but once we all realize that we have this common enemy, then we unite on the basis of what we have in common. and what we have foremost in common is that enemy - the white man. he's an enemy to all of us. i know some of you all think that some of them aren't enemies. time will tell.
