More Dave 'facts' We are a Representative Democracy [.] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representative_Democracy alas you are simply 'dave' ~ RHF . You're just a garden variety old fart. Liberal democracy is a form of representative democracy where elected representatives that hold the decision power are moderated by a constitution that emphasizes protecting individual liberties and the rights of minorities in society, such as freedom of speech and assembly, freedom of religion, the right to private property and privacy, as well as equality before the law and due process under the rule of law, and many more. Such constitutional rights, also named liberal rights, are guaranteed through various controlled institutions and various statutory laws. Additionally the constitution of most of the contemporary liberal democracies protects the rights of individuals and minorities, and prohibits the will of majority (majoritarianism), by almost eliminating that rule in practice. Some would argue that liberal democracy isn't democratic or liberal at all. They would argue that "liberal democracy" does not respect majority rule, except when citizens are asked to vote for their representatives, and also that its "liberty" is restricted by the constitution or precedent decided by previous generations. They would argue that, by prohibiting citizens the right to cast votes on all issues—especially for serious subjects like going to war, constitutional amendments or constitution abolishment etc.—this turns "liberal democracy" into the precursor of oligarchy. Others would say that only a liberal democracy can guarantee the individual liberties of its citizens and prevent the development into a dictatorship. Unmoderated majority rule could—in this view—lead to an oppression of minorities. The concept of an open society is closely related to liberal democracies. Since many liberals see democracies with strong statist reflections through the public choice theory as slow, dogmatic, conservative and not too apt for change, the liberal democracy contrasts with what could be called the "statist" democracy in that it emphasizes the civil society as the engine of its public discourse and development further. |

Equality For One : Must Be Equality For All for all are equal and all are one ~ RHF . If people are stupid and uninformed they should have no right to vote. They do more harm than good. Now, there's something we definitely agree on. There would be extremely vociferous opposition to any intelligence test -- or even the simplest civics test -- as a requirement for voting, however. Even a literacy test would be verboten in the insane asylum that passes for the United States these days. The reason? Any such test would be condemned as "racist." Certain races would fail even the simplest test in disproportionate numbers. So, until reality hits us in the face hard enough to make us abandon the religion of racial equality (which is just as kooky as fundamentalism), we will continue with a system in which vicious gangsters and borderline morons barely able to dress themselves have an equal vote with honors graduates and brilliant inventors. Of course, reality _will_ hit us in the face eventually, since the morons and thugs are increasing their percentage of the population every hour. And it is, more and more, _their_ tastes and predilections and "culture" which shape our society, determine its policies, and select its leaders. With every good wish, Kevin Alfred Strom. -- http://kevinalfredstrom.com/ |
