"Because half a dozen grasshoppers under a fern make the field ring with their importunate chink, whilst thousands of great cattle, reposed beneath the shade of the ... oak, chew their cud and are silent, pray do not imagine that those who make the noise are the only inhabitants of the field; that of course they are many in number, or that, after all, they are other than the little, shriveled, meager, hopping, though loud and troublesome, insects of the hour." ~ Edmund Burke, quoted in Daniel Hannan's The New Road to Serfdom.
The little, shriveled, meager, hopping, though loud and troublesome insects of the hour have had their say. It's time the rest of us recognized how petty they are, ignore them, and decline to let them choose our presidential candidates.
