Demokrati 2.0

”De fria fåglarna plöja sig väg genom rymden. Många av dem nå kanske ej sitt fjärran mål. Stor sak i det. De dö fria. De likna icke de där som sträcka hals och kackla vid sitt mattråg och beskärma sig över ‘galningarna’. I sinom tid skola dessa sansade gröpätare slaktas och förtäras. Det går så med de tama djuren. De taga inga risker, och de förlora alla chanser.” /Torgny Segerstedt 1940
