The wisdom of the ancients

The price of apathy towards public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.

Plato

2400 year old wisdom, from the 'the more things change, the more they stay the same' chronicles.


If I ran for public office, this might be my slogan.

The sign of our apathy towards public affairs is we don't care that we're ruled by evil men.

Or perhaps more likely:

We wish we had more iniative so that we could be those evil men.
