Democracy

1. A true democracy means "The People Rule", but sometimes it can be mistaken as "To Rule The People." When our creator of America came and was deciding how the country would be ran. They didn't want a democracy country then they would have a mob running the country. They were afraid that the people would take the riches away from the wealthy and have unlimited power. Plus even if they would have chosen to have a democracy country then the technology at that time wouldn't allow it to happen. Plus they were afraid of loosing their money and instead they made our country be a "Representative Republic."



2. "Without constant public political oversight and massive direct political involvement, gradually, over time, the natural human greed of the people's representatives slowly corrupts the law and the political, economic and legislative systems in ways that most greatly benefit the representatives themselves and those who provide their campaign funds and other political favors. This natural devolution of the system slowly but constantly chisels away at the freedom and wealth of the people, diverting ever-growing percentages of public funds and assets away from necessary public service into well-connected, insiders' pockets."



3. "The vast majority of the people who are at the bottom of the power chain (those who bear most of civilization's hardships) seek fundamental changes which might better their lives. The elite minority of the leadership at the top of the power chain (those who benefit most from the system) like things the way they are. The people who want change have no political power to affect the deiced change, because they have no way to unite to voice their collective goals. And, the powerful leaders who could affect change, have no desire to do so. so, those who would, can't. And, those who could, won't. This is the natural order of things which prevents change, keeps civilization stagnated in its past, prevents any forward progress which might benefit the average person."

4. He thinks that democracy is giving the people a faules feeling of security. The theme is repeated into the people's minds as if it was an oil machine. He also thinks that they are elaborate clandestine deceptions.
