I'm Shocked

Maybe inventing isn't correct with other examples, but they sure were the critical sources for our form of democracy. Didn't expect any educated person to contest that. Just because we made it work for ordinary men AND women unlike them doesn't mean they shouldn't get credit for the idea.
