[quote:Anonymous Coward 80306257:MV80ODQzNDQ3Xzg4NDI0MzU5X0RDNTEyRDg2] [quote:Marco Israel:MV80ODQzNDQ3Xzg4NDI0MjAxX0FFM0YzQkM2] [quote:Anonymous Coward 79725442:MV80ODQzNDQ3XzcxOEE3NzY5] So sick of this “threat to our democracy” shit we are a republic [/quote] Everyone who uses the "our democracy" term is an enemy. Write them all down. [/quote] By definition, half the population is of below average intelligence. Democracy? Here's democracy: [i]“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largesse from the public treasury. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidates promising the most benefits from the public treasury with the result that a democracy always collapses over loose fiscal policy, always followed by a dictatorship. The average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. These nations have progressed through this sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith; From spiritual faith to great courage; From courage to liberty; From liberty to abundance; From abundance to selfishness; From selfishness to apathy; From apathy to dependence; From dependence back into bondage.”[/i] Alexander Fraser Tytler [/quote]
