"Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains." the one phrase tells everything we know, we learn from others. And irony is we accept it or not We all are chained one way or another.
Honest person is chained with his/her honesty & Corrupt person is being chained with his/her own logics to continue the journey.
We all know we need good legislators who would do good and bring good in short and long term but in most cases our access to find & select fine tuned, honest and visionary legislators or leaders.
End of the day we continue to live with whatever is being served to us because they usually do not offer an alternative.
Its a brilliant book
