  “Adlai Stevenson put it well. He said that in a democracy people get the quality of government they deserve. James Madison believed that this system of checks and balances would never work unless what he referred to as civil virtue existed not on one level but two levels. First, it is necessary to have an electorate that is engaged and informed. Not simply engaged but informed as well, which means intelligent, rational, and capable deliberation -- and compromise when necessary. Second, that electorate has to elect public officials who are committed to the public good, not their personal advancement, not their private wealth, not their families, not prominence nor affluence but the public good, even at the cost of their careers or finances. Absent civic virtue at both of those two levels, Madison and his two colleagues believed that the whole system would collapse, which is what we are seeing today” - Professor Michael Glennon #TrumpEraForeignPolicy #IntelligenceAgencies #CivicVirtues #AfghanistanIranLibya Read full interview at http://tuftshemispheres.org!
