CORRECTION! It's Lincoln!

For those whom I mentioned the quote 'government of the people, by the people and for the people' when talking about democracy, I mistakenly attributed it to Roosevelt. That's WRONG! It should be Abraham Lincoln, also one of the ex-Presidents of the US. See link HERE.

The Irish writer, Oscar Wilde, ever witty and sarcastic as usual, gave Lincoln's quote a sardonic twist with:
Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.
