Quote by: LetThereBe As time goes on, I become less and less a believer in the virtues of democracy. Why? Most people don't care and are underqualified. Too few are deserving (let alone capable) of making the decision best for them. Let the ignorant masses watch their football, play their lottery, drink their booze and be content! Most do not WANT to play an active role in the betterment of society or humanity! Democracy for far too many is just voting for the guy who will do the most for your personal interests, whether by sucking up to minority groups or by giving tax breaks. Democratic participation should be made difficult enough to discourage those who have little interest, while keeping those who truly care about its ideals. |
I want to tear my hair out in frustration! STOP CONFUSING DEMOCRACY WITH GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!! :(
