Democracy.
« on: December 26, 2012, 10:59:45 PM »
Is democracy (In Israel at least that I'm talking about now) a failed system? A system that is poised to fail one way or another. Sooner or later.

It reminds me of the Roger Waters tune 'Too Much Rope'.... It seems that the complaints against democracy turned out to be valid. Eventually the people vote in completely immoral representatives who exploit their constituency for votes. It is a system which seems destined to fail.

Well, having Obamba win a democratic election twice after his disastrous failure does make me question how good of a system is democracy.
