from all the past governance system democracy is least damaging. but it has its own pros and cons.
1) the inherent vote bank politics it throws up brings lot of evil.
2) the businessmen. mafias, bureaucrats police and politician nexus it forms in almost all democratic country divides people in only two category a) oppressor or b) oppressed.
3) with increasing economic barriers in the electoral process all politicians are willingly or unwillingly forced to practice corruption to raise election fund. once they learn how easy it is to get corruption money and use some for the party and some for the personal benefit things become more and more dirty and corrupt in every aspect of citizen's activities.
4) most of the productive time is wasted in saving one's position in the government and ministry by all politicians and actual service to nation becomes secondary and almost Zero.
5) Elections are fought mostly on one emotional issues and other issues loose their importance.
we need better and reformed election system where money and vote bank would have no impact.

And then what, we will have a chance to vote for someone for president that is honest and can run the government for the people instead of all the rich and corporate donors that spent 400 million to get them in office?
Our politicians are bought, on both sides. John Kerry would have been as bad. His great idea for lowering gas prices? Add 50 cents per gallon tax so we would use less... Sheez...
They all suck.

I agree with Ironball. Bush is a walking timebomb and will explode any day now.
Clinton may have thought with his genitals, but he didn't cause this kind of controversy.
Bush is ruining it for everyone.
You know, Time magazine named Adolf Hitler "Man of The Year" in the early 1940's.
In 2003 they named George Bush "Man of The Year"
Coincidence?

I do like the democracy very much, and i'm very glad we have it.
I just hope the country is still stable by the time he is gone.

Yes , but his legacy will live on once a plan for micro -chip National IDs is in place. If the American public won't stand up and resist another huge loss of freedom. Hitler had National ID also.
UK is going for i.A highly controversial option has emerged for use in fighting terrorism in the United States: A national ID card which would be issued to every citizen.
A proposal for the creation of a national ID card was presented to President Bush in recent days, top government sources tell the DRUDGE REPORT.
The ID card plan was included in a classified briefing outlining steps the nation can take to limit exposure to terror attacks.
Bush briefly discussed the ID card option with British Prime Minister Tony Blair, according to insiders.

"I can tell you this, the president is very reluctant [to issue a national ID card]," a top White House source said on Sunday. "But we must look at all options."
Just as House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt [D-MO] says Congress should quickly move to open debate on security measures such as a national ID card.
"We are in a new world," Gephardt said. "This event will change the balance between freedom and security."
SAFETY FROM A CHIP..which can eventually be used to trace virtually everything you do. Everywhere you go, cash won't be used, so every thing you buy will be recorded. A record of every phone conversation filed neatly for Government reference 1984 was 100 years ago.
ORACLE Chairman and CEO Larry Ellison this weekend called for the United States to create a national identification system -- and offering to donate the software to make it possible -- free-of-charge.
"We need a national ID card with our photograph and thumbprint digitized and embedded in the ID card," Ellison said in an interview Friday night on the evening news of KPIX-TV in San Francisco.
Blair has tentatively approved identity cards which will be introduced for the first time in Britain.
The universal identity card leads major papers in London on Monday: 'ID CARDS FOR ALL' fronts the TIMES.
'IDENTITY CARDS ON THE WAY IN FIGHT ON TERROR' headlines the MAIL.
'WE'RE ALL GOING TO HAVE ID CARDS' splashes the SUN.

Blair has opted for a voluntary scheme in issuing the card, rejecting a compulsory "on demand" card because of connotations with Nazi Germany, where lack of proper identity cards could result in instant arrest, according to reports.
However, it will be virtually impossible for anyone to live a normal life without the new ID card in England - possession of a valid card will be necessary for boarding an aircraft, buying gas, opening a bank account, starting a job or claiming government benefits.
