I have little time to waste defending my ideals agfainst your rather amateurish insults and singular way of thinking. I will however put you in your place once and for all.
Democracy as things stand now are exactly as I said: the politicians elected spend their time in office trying to get elected again. None of them has done anything that would further goals that might be the best for the people even if it means angering the people. A case in point - the United States has one language - English. The state of Pennsylvania voted in 1736 to keep said language as its own (instead of German, as it had been). Now, instead of commanding that those who move here learn said language the country is adapting instead of remaining resilient. Signs are now printed in Spanish, wasting valuable time money and space. Does any politician come out against it - -no, because it might anger those who would keep him in office.
Second case in point - -the technology exists for the mass production and sale of fuel efficienct automobiles. Has the government commanded that production of vehciles that get less than 20 mpg halt? No. Have they ordered that all vehicles be fitted with pollution-reducing equipment (ie trucks) - no. Why? Because the manufacturuers and the gasoline companies have purchased their power and pay well to maintain. Dozens of politicians are on their payrolls and as such, oil prices rise and large vehciles such as SUVs are sold to people who do not use them a opposed to mini-vans which would be more fuel efficient and serve thge same purpose.
The simple fact of the matter is that democracy cannot work as it allows capitalism and greed to reign. This is fact - -not opinion. Dispute is irrelevant, Rekon.
Darwin put the study of Natural Selection onto a scientific stage, showing that Nature in her glory and omnipotence allows only the strong to survive. Hence why in herds the weak and slow and infirm are picked off first. In the world today, patients that are terminally ill are allowed to suffer (ie Terri Sheivo), wasting money and resources and more importantly ALLOWING HER TO SUFFER. In the world of democracy, medical proceedures that would terminate the life of someone who is dying, thus saving them an excrutiating demise, are outlaed (Dk. Kevokian). I ask how.
In democracy, the guilty are allowed to walk free. Case in point - while on duty I arrested a man who had severly beaten his wife. He was then charged and convicted and sent to prison. In prison he attacked a guard and was sent into solitary confinement. He was not fed for a day. He sued the prison and won, forcing them toi pay five million dollar to an inmate, a criminal!!! And what is more, as part of the county's deal with him, he has been parolled prematurely after serving barely six months and has quite a fortune to spend. This is justice???
Fact: I was born in Germany, a loyal son of the Fatherland. I was raised as an aristocrat and raised to believe in my people just as you believe in yours. I will defend them to the last, same as you would your own. I believe that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
I believe firmly that without authority, and without the ability to act ruthlessly and immediately, no order can be maintained. When as an officer I arrive on scene now and a man is beating his wife I have no power to shoot him. In an autocratic state I would. If I arrive on scene and see a man raping a girl, I cannot shoot him. In an autocratic state I could. If I arrive on scene and see a drunk drive alive that has just killed a family of four, I cannot tie him to a pole and test my shot gun. In an autocratic state I could.
I say that democracy is not tought enough on criminals, centered on greed, and kept alive by the perseuction of the minorities just the same as any autocratic state. However, in an autocratic state true justice would be metted out more often. True justice is people getting what they deserve for their crime - -rapistist being castrated brutally, murders being murdered, theives having their property approproated.
Justice is not watching the guilty laugh at the court because a miranda warning missed a word or he was handled too roughly by the police after shooting two of our comrades. Simply put - -the code of Hammaurabi.
Recon, you are the one who needs help. I truly find your hatred amusing because you are so devoted to the pursuit of chaos. The amusing part is - -you are too fanatical to see through the shroud you have wrapped yourself up in. The difference between you and I is that I am willing to make sacrifices for an ordered society - -you want your cake and to eat it, too.
