There is a connection waiting to be made between the decline in democratic participation and the explosion in new ways of communicating. We need not accept the paradox that gives us more ways than ever to speak, and leaves the public with a wider feeling than ever before that their voices are not being heard. The new technologies can strengthen our democracy, by giving us greater opportunities than ever before for better transparency and a more responsive relationship between government and electors

Warren Zevon

The world has changed far more in the past 100 years than in any other century in history.

Clearly, no scientist better represents those advances than Albert Einstein: TIME's Person of the Century.

Stephen Hawking

Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing more than medicine on a grand scale.
