Early to bed and early to rise, and you'll meet very few of the best people.
America has never been a pure democracy and majoritarianism has always been as much feared as monarchism.
Utopianism also attempts to shape and dominate the individual by doing two things at once: it strips the individual of his uniqueness, making him indistinguishable from the multitudes that form what is commonly referred to as 'the masses,' but it simultaneously assigns him a group identity based on race, ethnicity, age, gender, income, etc. , to highlight differences within the masses.
