will eventually be doomed to failure. In its simplest form a democracy could be two wolves and a sheep voting on

what's for dinner. Won't last long. A democracy established in a place like Iraq, would eventually be taken over

by a sect that was fairly elected into power by a majority and then that sect changes law to whatever their whim

will be. In essence making it likely that they will never be voted out.

I don't think there has ever been a

nation in the history of the earth that has been governed by a true democracy, for more than a blip in

history.
Good post.

Look at California. Lots of ballot referenda. They were even allowed to vote on

teaching Ebonics.


As a result they've voted themselves into an energy crisis.
