The web’s democratic in one way and distinctly undemocratic in another way. And I think a lot of the confusion about the political ramifications have to do with that one word having so many meanings.

Will power is only the tensile strength of one’s own disposition. One cannot increase it by a single ounce. – Cesare Pavese
