Hey red, if you don't care one way or the other then why exactly are you attacking evrybody for their opinion of this man when you state that you prefer to be oblivious to the situation?

And regarding Democracy: Democracy gives us freedoms that no other government has granted to the citizens at large before (other than being a hermit, in which you decide EVERYTHING by yourself...the con is that you have to provide everything for yourself too, that gets tiring).

Democracy also sets boundaries, and those boundaries are generally not unreasonable, but in fact desireable: The following is forbidden:

-Murder
-Theft (in any way shape or form)
-Rape
-Being a troll (not really forbidden but we counter this with courtesy and politeness)
-Lying in order to gain something that isn't yours or lying in a court of law
-Misappropriation of public/government fund or branches or misuse of power
-The violation of law (whether just or unjust is something of another issue but one of great importance)

The following is encouraged in Democracy:

-Voting (I've lost faith in this one since I have no idea who I'm voting for since everyone takes off the mask once they're in office)
-Freedom of speech (as pursuant to law, which is really based on whether or not it is just or unjust)
-Obeying the law and contributing to the safety of the community

Now this is where all the sh*t hits the fan.

All this can only work if the people who are walking and living within the boundaries of the law, have good enough morals and have their head on straight will be able to make this system work, while still providing freedoms granted by the democracy they live within. Those kind of people all dissapeared about 50 years ago.

I know I'm leaving my post off at an odd point but I'm tired now and I'll finish it later.
