Democracy and its restrictions.

Democracy is favored by the many and portrayed as the problem solver of any troubled society.

Under this great idea Kings, scholars and even modern day politicians and philosophers carved the destiny of the world and led us to where we stand today.

Men who in the name of democracy led thousands of men into war and millions of others to the social breakdown our countries face today.

But the original idea of democracy the one that was under trial for thousands of years- and still survives today- is becoming a distorted idea. It has become only a fragment of its previous self and only a tiny fraction of its past glory remains in our memories.


Millions and millions of analysts try to infiltrate our minds even our souls to convince us that under the name of democracy even atrocious actions can be forgiven. And after they are finished with raping our thoughs and feelings we are left with a guilty subconscious and a guard to make sure that we won't feel, think, act; that guard being the media. Papers, TV even the radio and other ways of communication are spoon-feeding us with "safety" in other words emotional inhibitors making us forget of the long-gone quest for justice, peace and prosperity.


These words might mean nothing to you since you are brainwashed to believe anything a TV screen tells you or maybe you agree with me because this is a TV screen, so to say, as well. Anyhow spoon-fed or not you must still have "clean" brainshells that can give you an opinion on the matter. If you have one post it!

'Better servitude with safety than freedom with danger.' Is servitude a high honour or actually lack of personal freedom?


' A lion had a fox to attend on him, and whenever they went hunting the fox found the prey and the lion fell upon it and killed it, and then they divided it between them in certain proportions. But the lion always got a very large share, and the fox a very small one, which didn't please the latter at all; so he determined to set up on his own account. He began by trying to steal a lamb from a flock of sheep: but the shepherd saw him and set his dogs on him. The hunter was now the hunted, and was very soon caught and despatched by the dogs.'

Aesop's Fables
