(#5497) Do you believe in democracy?

      Never in my lifetime had it even occurred to me to question whether democracy should be ours and the world's most inclusive form of government. There is no other form of government with the same rights and freedoms that democracy extends. So why would anyone not protect, defend and encourage democracy the world over? I cannot think of one good reason but I can think of some bad ones. Like some people who are sociopathic in behavior and would like nothing more than to treat some people as property instead of as free human beings.
     We had a war about this called the Civil War and those who fought to protect their human property were defeated by those who knew that people were not property. Those same folks on the losing side of the people as property issue have descendents who would reverse the loss incurred during the Civil War and refight it by destroying our democracy and installing an authoritarian form of government much like what putin is doing in Russia. Which would explain why they are opposed to sending Ukraine aid to fight against Russian aggression on Ukrainian soil.
     I am one who is full stop in on science and logic as a means of interpreting our existence. So seeing how democracy allows for growth within it to make a more perfect union I am well satisfied with its utilization. For those who don't see democracy as their way forward then they should tell us why and how they see our form of government operating. Nothing logical can come from any explanation nor vision they may provide that would surpass or equal the brilliance of democracy. So that is probably why they don't announce their thoughts and vision because it is rather a dark one and would not allow for many to eagerly enjoin!
