Quote by: Isherwood  Wow, zynner. That was coherent, lucid and from what I can still remember from my school years, pretty accurate.
Democracy can be crippled when abused by those with money. Since we practice a market-driven economy, those with money can influence the way we practice democracy. In effect they can buy votes.
But liberty as an ideal can never be crippled by those who don't endorse it or practice it in their countries. Liberty can exist under systems not democratic. |
I don't think we share the same understanding of democracy. Brothers and sisters are equals, and we must focus on human rights, not laws. Again, democracy is a matter of philosophy and culture. Forget that, and it dies.
