Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote.
What do you gain by putting down democracy?
Unless you're the dictator, democracy is the only thing you have going for you.
Way back (1960's) there was a corny TV show called The Trials of O'Brien.
As part of the opener for this show it says:
"Democracy is not a good form of government. But strengthen it and uphold it: All the others are much worse."
Think about that one.
Relax, It was a quote from Benjamin Franklin. If you believe we have democracy, thats all that matters. I don't believe we do. I don't believe my vote counts, and I do not vote anymore. If my vote counted it would not be in secrecy, I would be able to double check my vote or any one elses. I originally came on here to post some links to maybe warn some people what may be really going on. From the few posts I have made, unable to post my links yet, I don't think it is worth it. Nothing that may differ from some of your beliefs would be believed. I will continue posting on subjects, but I must admit , I did not think I would find so much arrogance, ignorance, and attitude on a christian forum. I do not see the love,peace, and honor in any of the religions. They talk the talk, but can't walk the the walk. I do not go to church, I pray from my own home. I try to honor the real sabbath day (which is not sunday). And I try to follow the ten commandments. I have nothing against my neighbors here, or in Iran,Iraq, Syria or any other country. I am all for what America should be, but I do not see it being that. I see nothing but alot of deceived people divided amongst themselves and selfish to the core. No wonder God destroyed the people on earth. I apologize for the negativety, I now understand why people do not want to hear any bad things and just want to stay positive. I wish it were that simple, but how many years has that worked? May God be with you all.
