Nobody ever chose to be a part of the democracy, so your sentiment is correct.
"Our" democracy makes it sound like they are not actually subjects of a system, and are rather the original builders of the system.
It's the same as people who say, "We won" when a national athlete wins the Olympics. They didn't win anything. They weren't there. They didn't jump those very high hurdles.
You mean you aren't willing to share?
ReplyDeleteI like to call it MY democracy.

ReplyDeleteI agree. It's just as revolting as "We the People"', another phrase invented by conniving liars to facilitate their subjugation of the gullible.
