In A Democracy Now

• McNamara: Schlemmer, can you tell them not to stand at attention every time I walk in the room? Explain that they live in a *democracy* now!
• Schlemmer: That's the problem, sir. Before, if told to sit, they would sit. Now, they do what they want, and what they want is to stand.
