I had been in countries during Fair and Free elections were held, as long as the people vote for the people the government has already chosen for them. One good example is the one party states where your choice is between this and more of this.
A true threat to Democracy looks in the USA where slavery metaphorically is not abolished at the ballot box. Like the politicians in that country say, God Bless America
God is too busy blessing America that it or he or she seems to have forgotten Zimbabwe where the corruption and human rights have taken a dive to a new low .. but that continent where hope was shimmering a decade or so ago, Ghana has just passed a law that makes homosexuality and gender identification a crime punishable by jail sentence .. Which century are they living in ? Shake hands with your sister country Uganda and other freedom loving countries such as Somalia, Eritrea.. coming to think of it, is there a single moslem majority country in Africa or the Middle East or Asia which is vaguely democratic ? Tunisia pearl of the Ottomon Empire is slipping fast to join Pakistan at the other end
I have seen true socialism work but in small tribal societies..
as ides of march approach, let us wish our planet not a healthy air but a good dose of sanity of thinking, and to vote for demogoguery but make common sense an educational requirement..
