Democracy

The problem with democracy

is the assumption that people are

both good and that they -

both those who vote and

those who are voted for -

make decisions based on reason.

The fact that a mug of beer

was considered enough to buy a vote

in early 19th century England

should have already

revelead the fault in that idea.

Greed is the basis of democracy;

greed for power and status for the politician,

greed for things that they desire for the voters.

There is nothing wrong in that, as such;

reason can drive your greed,

make the politician bend -

just make sure that the politician

pays more than a mug of beer for your vote.
