Quote by: Osborn F Enready  Athena likes to make up definitions of democracy on the fly.
She also likes to call many nations democracies, that aren't. |
Okay, Osborn, what are democratic principles?
I don't make things up. I read, and I quote from books I read.
The 1940's Democracy Series of text books for grade schools, are not my creation. The Congress on Education for Democracy is not my creation. John Dewey was one of the most influential in developing education for democracy, and the importance of his work was even more highly valued when Germany started wars, the US began using public education to mobilize the country for war against Germany. You might start googling some of things I bring up and discover how they match what you value.
Come to think of it, what do you think the soldiers who signed up for WWI and WWII and service in Iraq, thought they were defending? You have good values and I am blow away by your failure to connect those values to the ideology of democracy which began in ancient Athens, and your mindless destruction of the chance we can restrong the greatness of our country.
