We have met the enemy, and he is us. It was democracy that had blacks riding in the back of the bus. It was the Constitutional Republic that stopped the tyranny of democracy. I believe in the Constitution (just not the way it's selectively observed).
I don't believe courts and laws change people -- other than the way they behave outwardly and structure their affairs.
