 As you read the next two para graphs, remember the ignorant l Georgia killers. An excerpt from Wynns Astrology reads:
 Democracy is the concept that the human race is one race, differ ent and diffuse in it's manifestations, but always unity, Its symbol is i the individual, you and your friend, your superior, your inferior = any man, woman or child is perfect symbol of the unity of mankind. 1 For within the composite of one person are to be found all the diff | ference of the entire world of hu- mans. Anything you can see in another is also present in yourself, although in varying measure.
 Democracy is the enlightened understanding of the similarities between all humans. Any accent that is placed upon the differences between two or more people is a departure from democracy. And from Will Durant's "Works of Schopenhauer," "Of Women: "Without women the beginning of our life would be helpless; the mid dle devoid of pleasure; and the end of consolation"
 And by Byron in Sardanapalus:
 'tThe very first Of human life must spring from
 woman's breast,
 Your first small words are taught
 you from her lips,
 Your first tears quench'd by her, and your last signs
 Too often breathed out in a woman's
 hearing,
 When men have shrunk from the
 ignoble care
 Of watching the last hour of him
 who led them.
