History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior.
The path towards a free society has not been simple. There are tragic and glorious pages in our history.

Nothing is more destructive of respect for the government and the law of the land than passing laws which cannot be enforced.
