The Romans and the Greeks were all dead while the Church, military, monarchs, Chinese business, indigenous communities are still alive. The former were democracy pioneers. The latter are hierarchal.
The lifespan tells us outright: democracy my ass!
Yet, why are we still on democracy―on participatory process?
Americans maybe, but they too are un-democratic. Their voting system―democracy's core foundation―has long been dirty (since late 1800s, to be exact). O well, they just happen to be good at marketing and public relations that they sold democracy.
Happy independence day, anyway. I hope Sulu abductors will free Ces Drilon.
