Re: Democracy can never be given, it must be fought for
Most of the people know how democracy is supposed to work and most often people are talking about the democratic system in the US.
By design, the US constitution puts the term limit (Max. two terms) on the presidency because they don't want the president to stay in power too long.
But they didn't set the term limit for senators and members of the House of Representative (congressmen). Some Americans still support the term limit on these key positions. They complained that the positions have become a money-making machine for the career politicians.
Now the democratic system in the US is in question because the government didn't act fast enough to solve the problem for ordinary Americans.
The problem is the world has changed and needs a faster response like what happened in China. In the past, the world has to wait for the US response and it worked fine for the US but, it didn't work like that any more.
The poor and middle class Americans are still complaining that the Gov. is working for the rich only !!!
But, if you look back in the past, for any country, the rich always control the world and that was why the Communist system was created.
Democratic or not, if you want free economy system, you have to learn how to live with it.
Democracy will not find the food and solve every thing for you, you have to go out there and compete with others and hope that you will win some and lose some.
Life is about trying to be better for any Gov. that you are living at. You may not get there, but as long as you are trying, that is all it matters.
