Re: Quote Quandry--desparate!

[Betty Louise Copeland <bcope@TENET.EDU>]

Just by chance I had a copy of an ERIC Digest Article, "Information
Technology and the Informed Citizen", which begins with --
    Thomas Jefferson wrote:  If a nation expects to be ignorant and free
in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be .
. . [I]f we are to guard against ignorance and remain free, it is the
responsibility of every American to be informed.  (Letter to Colonel
Charles Yancey, January 6, 1816).

Could this be what you're looking for?
