“The highest American good is more than the struggle over who gets what, when, and how. Politics has a community and justice dimension as well as a power dimension… If public opinion were not controlled by public philosophy, [Lippmann] argued, it would rarely be in the public interest.

It was only the beginning of the argument” ~ Os Guinness, American Hour
