Poliblog competition
Who said this?
"A popular Government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prolague to a farce or a tragedy or perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance, and a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."
Come on, this is easy. You can at least guess the century by the quality of grammar and vocabulary (Only Buckley, Wills and Safire presently write with such a command of the language).
Now, who said this?
"I got a demo and a new account on Clark's weblog space (in beta). It's quite rough in its implementation but solid in its philosophy. Some of the ideas outlined in this piece are implemented. It's good because it will up the ante for Dean, Edwards, Bush, et al. Remember the Browser Wars when Netscape and Microsoft were competing to give us the best access to the Web. Now we have competition among the candidates to give us the best access to each others' minds. How much progress that is! They used to think of us as eyeballs and couch potatoes. "
I think the two would have had a wonderful conversation. And, I agree with them both.
