Hmmm, Do ya think there may be an explanation here for why democracy is failing so dismally...  |
I think democracy is a ancient Greek idea but it gave the vote only to certain people the idea of everyone having the vote and democracy may need thinking thru.
Heck if it was up to me only ten percent would get the vote and to vote they have to win a cage fight and graduated with honors and look like me.
Hopefully somehow which ever number get to vote sensible selection are made.
Or throw it wide open and everyone gets to vote sbove six years old..who knows how things could inprove..even politicians if they can read itrespective of age let them into parliment...
Would anything change.
