The proper response toward what we occasionally imagine to be democracy, methinks, is to retain one's self-respect by not participating in it.

I may think that hornets do not have an ideal social organization. But I know better than to poke their nest.

Kids esteem themselves when they have accomplished something worth esteeming.
