Use it or lose it

It is always nice when great men (no, for once, I do not mean the Boss over on EUReferendum) say exactly what one has been saying in one's own modest fashion. Roger Kimball (whom I actually met recently and who turned out to be a delightful dinner companion) writes about democracy, Bill Buckley and Glenn Reynolds in his column on Pajamas Media and says precisely what I have been saying to all who would listen and many who would not: Democracy: Use It or Lose It. I was going to quote but really the whole column is worth reading.
