Democracys days are numbered.  It cannot survive the diverse society our
"leaders" are creating.  We've sown the seeds for the dissolution of
freedom and unity decades ago.

What these people are doing, holding back Democracy is necessary if you
want a pluralistic society.  ITs rational for them to do that.  They
have to, they have no choice.  Our choice is whether we want their World
Order, or one of our own choosing.
