103. I agree. Many have the fantasy of the poor uprising and setting up a free democracy. This is not
workable. I dont believe it has ever worked thru out history. The American Experiment was unique. There were special geographical and social circumstances that allowed the development of a free Democracy. I say free although one could argue that even in the US, all have not been "free".
The nature of people seems to make it easy for tyrants to get control. People seem always to look for the easy way out which is always the route the tyrants promise.
