Quote of the Day - democracy

A quote of the day while I gather material for tonight's Eye On Toledo show at 6 p.m. on WSPD:

"[D]emocracies 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." --James Madison, Federalist No. 10, 1787
