Quite amusing to see someone with a Greek name
mistaking Democracy as something "from USA".

I mean modern democracy, not ancient.Greek in its modern history had nothing
but democracy;dictators, kings and everything.We really have democracy from
1973 to nowadays, after the military dictatorship had fallen.USA, in
contrary, has democracy in the past ~300 years.

Well, given the political climate of Greece since the 5th century BC, I
can see how it would be easy to forget.

And there are still people in the US today that believe only a small
proportion of the population should vote. My father believed that only
property owners should vote. I am not sure that he was wrong. There is
something about only allowing those who have a real stake in a country's
future to be allowed to control it, that appeals to some of us. Our

country
is today controlled by millions of rif-raf who only came here for a hand
out, and don't really give a Damn whether we survive or die.......They

don't
bother to learn the language, and will vote for whoever gives them the

most
money in their welfare checks......

The only difference between them and the politicians they vote
for is a suit. I think we should have voter registration by zip code. Palm
Springs= 10 votes. Brooklyn=1 vote. No house, no vote. Alien? Contribute
your first born to get his ass blown off in the war of the day. Deport
them all I say. Then the gov't can stop ripping off their 80% of welfare,
giving the aliens their ill-begotten 20% and making them pay tax on that.
And get them off the farms. Farmers get subsidised anyway. Cure America's
obesity problem. In about a day. America for Americans. Or at
least those that managed to survive for a generation or two, and become
Americans. Bob Hickey

Hey! - I'll buy that.....I think we should do away with voting altogether. I
think we should be run by a congress picked by random selection from all the
eligible citizens. replaced every 6 years or so by a new group....Never to
be allowed to serve again. - Not serving long enough to learn how to
steal......But the, "eligible citizens" should have lived here for at least
ten years, and be able to speak the language.......

We basically have. We still go through the motions, of course. But
when you vote using a machine with no paper trail, you have no guarantee
that your vote was recorded, or recorded as you entered it. You have to
trust the assurances of major Republican contributors that their
machines are honest. And if you believe that, I've got some great deals
on bridges for you.

"A man is none the less a slave because he is allowed to choose a new
master once in a term of years. Neither are a people any the less slaves
because they are permitted periodically to choose new masters. What makes
them slaves is the fact that they are now, and are always hereafter to be,
in the hands of men whose power over them is, and always is to be, absolute
and irresponsible." --Lysander Spooner, 'No Treason'.
