  "But in the [Federal Reserve system's] relatively brief history, it has contributed greatly to the crash of 1920, the Great Depression of the 1930s, the inflation and stagflation of the 1970s, the tech bubble of the 1990s -- and today's financial crisis." --- Yaron Brook & Don Watkins 2012 _Free Market Revolution: How Ayn Rand's Ideas Can End Big Government_ pg49

  "On the part of an influential section of the American public, these attitudes were directed against which what was known as 'democracy'.     In its strict sense, the word 'democracy' was used as by Aristotle, to refer to a small republic in which the mass of the people ruled themselves directly.     Madison, who was keenly aware of the importance of clear definitions, told readers of 'The Federalist' that he meant by 'a pure Democracy' 'a Society, consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble & administer the Gov't in person'.     It was thus quite possible for a democracy to possess different ranks of society & degrees of wealth, & the term did not necessarily imply social or economic equality; it defined the constitution, & to some extent the procedure, of gov't.     But most Americans who spoke on the subject feared that in such a system the poor would use their majority to dominate the rich & seize their goods.     In a more complex or extended society, the democracy... was simply the mass of the people, those especially with little or no property of their own.     Speakers in the Convention frequently used 'the people' interchangeably with 'the democracy'...     early references to 'democracy' were generally hostile.     Shay's Rebellion & the rampages of the paper money school were fresh in the minds of the representatives of credit & property..." --- J.R. Pole 1966 _Political Representation in England & the Origins of the American Republic_ (discussing Constitutional Convention debates of 1787)

Except that computer people use 2 as a base raised to multiples of powers of 10, instead of 10 raised to multiples of powers of 3 because powers of 2 are handier for them, but they also want to stay somewhat close to the values of 10 most folks are used to.

  "About the Declaration there is a finality that is exceedingly restful.   It is often asserted that the world has made a great deal of progress since 1776, that we have had new thoughts and new experiences which have given us a great advance over the people of that day, and that we may therefore very well discard their conclusions for something more modern.   But that reasoning cannot be applied to this great charter.   If all men are created equal, that is final.   If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final.   If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final.   No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions.   If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people.   Those who wish to proceed in that direction cannot lay claim to progress.   They are reactionary.   Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary Fathers..." --- Calvin Coolidge 1927-07-05 (quoted in Mark Reed Levin 2017 _ReDiscovering Americanism: And the Tyranny of Regressivism_ pp54-55; citing UCSB)
