It Makes a Difference to the Sheep

MARIO CUOMO ON THE CALIFORNIA RECALL:

It's too much democracy. In San Francisco and in the rest of California, there has been an instinct for a long time to get as close to the plebiscite as you can get, as close to ''We'll decide it for ourselves.'' And I think Californians would tell you that every once in a while they've done something they're proud of this way, but more often than not they've discovered that they punished themselves by a rash judgment.

Too much democracy? Can't trust those pesky people now can we?
