The main problem facing mankind today is freedom versus totalitarianism. All other problems and issues are either subordinate to this problem or merge in it.

The party system has been so ingrained everywhere in the modern world where democracy prevails that an alternative way of electing and supervising leaders of government seems unthinkable.

The sovereignty of the consumer, on which hinges rapid economic growth with social justice, and the sovereignty of the voter, the foundation of all democratic institutions, are but different aspects of a free citizen.

The characteristics of the electorate everywhere determines the quality of democracy and Its actual influence on affairs beneficial or otherwise.

Liberalisation might cause pain in the short run but it will bring immense benefits in the long run. It has been done in so many Asian countries, which until recently were as poor and undeveloped as we are.

The goal must be individual liberty under the rule of law – which demands that the government be placed under legal restraints which it cannot alter.

So vitally important in any democratic society is this freedom of the people to choose that to deprive it of the freedom would be to drain away its very lifeblood.

A Fascist dictatorship and its leader are above the Law and the Judiciary is in consequence reduced to subservience.

The spirit of freedom is apt to suffer restraints from sources alien to the art itself. The interference may come from false notions of prudery and decency as well as from politics, race, community and language.

In a democracy the first thing to recognize is that the police are not mere enforcers alone. They are upholders of the law. There is a difference. Enforcement has the connotation of unquestionable authority.
