That's prolly 'coz the benefits of democracy are often wasted on those who have never seen anything else.

Oh.... I lost my faith in Democracy a long time ago. The USA is now becoming a Democracy when in fact her founding fathers founded a Republic. Big Difference but even I have lost my faith in that because those that are elected to be representatives are all the same group scumbags.

I'm more for everyman lives his life and the government can Sod Off. I know there is a need for government. But not what is today's level of government. I don't like government intruding into my life...

Which is why I want a democracy and not a bureaucratic republic.

This is what happens when a country's public servants actually start influencing the running of the country instead of implementing the wishes of the elected Government.

Do you get the British TV show, "Yes Minister" in the US? Bureaucracy gone mad, the sad thing being, that it is closer to the truth than many imagine.
