The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.
-- Winston Churchill
UPDATE:
According to somebody who wrote another comment, Winston Churchhill never said that.
What Churchill really said was "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried from time to time."
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
