Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proportional Representation: Including Its Relation to the Initiative and Referendum So-called "winged words" or phrases are like coins traveling from hand to hand without being examined for their full intrinsic value until they find some critically disposed person who weighs, scrutinizes, tests them, and to the general surprise finds deficiencies either in weight, quality or genuineness. "Winged words" or phrases usually express either an empirical half-truth or a sentiment; and mostly in the latter form they are readily accepted without further examination, travel leisurely from mouth to mouth, are profusely propagated in newspapers, magazines and books, and, whether true or not, are popularly accepted as truth. To expose their fallacy is neither an easy, nor a very profitable undertaking, as they often strike a so-called patriotic feeling, a popular vein a long-cherished habit of thought, or half a truth and therefore are easily swallowed without examination, while the real truth is somewhat hidden veiled, and not easily detected. Such phrases are: "The people will have as good or as bad a government as they deserve;" "In our republic the people rule, and have it in their power to alter or repeal laws at pleasure;" or, "If there is corruption in public affairs, it can only be because the people are corrupt."
