Actually, Democracy is majority rule ... it's not about your rights ... especially if your in the minority. And our Republic is a representative one (using democratic elections) that has very low standards for participation in government ... it is easy for you to get involved to protect the rights which you feel the governmnet has invaded upon.

Quote by: Century 25 So, you are saying justice.. free access to information..etc, are "problems'..?? |
no, I didn't say that ... what I'm saying is that they are subjective ideas that look better on paper than they do in practice. Why should information that is acquired at grat expense and risk (for instance) be made available for free to anyone who wants it? What is justice to you might be revenge or even racism or biggotry to me.

Quote by: Century 25 Yeah well.. I like loud music too |
Great ... hope your neighbor does to and isn't a bird watcher trying to categorize bird calls while you rock out.
As for capitalism having provided a communal lifestyle ... actually ... it has provided that choice to people who want to live that way. I live in the country on 140 acres and jam when I want and appreciate the sounds of nature when I want ... that choice has been afforded to me by capitalism (and hard work).
I'm glad you don't believe in communal living as a path towards improving your lifestyle and health ... but how do you think living in a pure democracy would improve them? Do you really trust the majority of the population (global, I presume, as you don't want borders) to make decisions that would affect your lifestyle or health? Wouldn't you rather have the control of your own fate?
