“What frightens me about America today is that in the large majority there is no active sense of the value of the individual: few citizens feel that they are the Republic, responsible for what happens. And when the individual in a democracy ceases to feel his importance, then there is grave danger that he will give over his freedom, if not to a Fascist State, then to the advertising men or Publicity Agents or to the newspaper he happens to read.” IfsMenGivingFeelsStatesHappensTodayAmericaValuesIndividualUnited StatesDemocracyDangerCitizensImportanceResponsibleMajorityActiveNewspapersGravesCeaseAdvertisingAgentsRepublicPublicityFascistsAmerica Today Author:May Sarton
