Summary

This quote is a satirical way of stating that in any well-established community, there will always be individuals who deviate from the norms and beliefs prevalent in that society. The mention of a drunkard, an atheist, and Democrats suggests that these are examples of people who might be considered incompatible with the typical values and beliefs of a village. However, the quote suggests that even with these variations in opinions, the community can still thrive and coexist with diverse perspectives.
