In his Disquisition on Government, American statesman John C. Calhoun (1782-1850) points out

“[T]hat, while man is created for the social state, and is accordingly so formed as to feel what affects others, as well as what affects himself, he is, at the same time, so constituted as to feel more intensely what affects him directly, than what affects him indirectly though others; or, to express it differently, he is so constituted, that his direct or individual affections are stronger than his sympathetic or social feelings.”

A better description of the “democratic man” can scarcely be found in any tome or folio. He is a man without sense of duty or tradition; a man without culture. C. Higgins 1-26-08
