Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.
Lessig on “Corruption”
Larry Lessig explains how the U.S. democracy, dependent on “corrupt” campaign contributions, is deteriorating.
He quotes President Reagan describing how democracies fail—by voting themselves into bankruptcy.
A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury.—Unknown
This expression did not originate with Reagan, it provenance is unclear.
