8. I'm not disagreeing with you just to be disagreeable. We have been fighting for democracy,...

,...all along, and that fight is NEVER TOO LATE because it has kept us all going, this long.

Democracy is ALL ABOUT FIGHTING AGAINST oppression and inequality and injustice.

Maybe, you don't want to admit it but,...we certainly have been FIGHTERS FOR DEMOCRACY. Otherwise, our nation would look like it did in 1909, BEFORE women had a right to vote and children could no longer be forced to labor and laborers could no longer be treated like slaves and blacks could no longer be treated like something other than human beings and the elderly could no longer be tossed away and education was accessible to all people and roads were built allowing far greater access across this nation and community protections were developed via firefighters/police and,...

It is AMAZING what has been built by all those willing to FIGHT FOR A DEMOCRACY THAT SERVES ALL ITS CITIZENS.

Maybe, too many take for granted WHAT IT TAKES to build a democracy? You have to WORK FOR IT!!!

If we WANT to be heard ABOVE the corporacrats, we HAVE TO BE ACTIVE AND VOCAL above their commercials ((DUH))). We can NOT allow their PROFITS drown out our voices, our lives, OUR IMPORTANCE AND VALUE, our dreams,... We can NOT allow those whose interest is purely money to persuade us to HATE or DEMEAN or JUDGE one another,...there are always those who are struggling to possess the strength necessary to make it through life's challenges and difficulties,...THEY ARE all of us.

The corporacrats ENGAGE our feeling sorry for ourselves, ALWAYS. They constantly manipulate our feelings of inadequacy and insecurity. That's what they do,...to profit. They make money by manipulating human weakness. That is evil, my friend,...human evil.

SO, you seem to have given up on democracy, altogether. Did you do it by your will,...or theirs?
