Been trying to find out to if this is a genuine Franklin quote:
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote."
Or is it an example of made up 'wisdom' used to support a political viewpoint?
My brief googling found that the phase "Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch." was published in a book called "Lost Rights: The Destruction of American Liberty" by James Bovard.
