" In these days we’re in a hare-and-tortoise race between mob rule and education: to avoid collapsing into mod rule we have to try to educate a minority that’ll stand out against it. The fable says that the tortoise won in the end, which is consoling, but the hare shows a good deal of speed and few signs of tiring. "
