Bertrand Russell #2
Filed Under Quotations on Thursday, November 8th 2007

If you were reading last week, you’d have read the first of the Bertrand Russell quotes that caught my attention. Here is the second:

~Bertrand Russell

This of course, is at the heart of the populist politician and the accusations of elitism that seem occur during every election in this country.
