I think plato just rolled over in his grave...

I've never seen a quote hacked so bad, it's not even written in the style of plato.. "dumber" really?

This is one of my favorite quotes:

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."
- Plato
