"In all very numerous assemblies, of whatever character composed, passion never fails to wrest the sceptre from reason. ... Had every Athenian citizen been a Socrates, every Athenian assembly would still have been a mob."
.
- Alexander Hamilton and James Madison
Federalist No. 55,
15 February 1788
From the Patriot Post

Think maybe, Alex and James were being a little to polite by use of the word 'passion'. Know of plenty of other words that provide a more concise meaning for these 'supposedly passionate' people. None of them are fit to be printed here!
