Allen Guelzo: Gettysburg and the Eternal Battle for a 'New Birth of Freedom' - WSJ.com
So says Mr. Guelzo: The age of plantations and masters has passed away, helped in no small measure by the people who rallied to Lincoln's challenge. But the perverse suspicion that the people understand too little to determine their own fate has by no means disappeared.

Not hierarchy, but bureaucracy, has become the new agent for imposing stability and "fairness" handed down from on high
Hmm?
