"It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything."

The implications of Stalin's comment are chilling to anyone who thinks about the possibilities. The freedom we have enjoyed is a very thin veneer that easily can disappear. Many fear that happened in the 2000' election, and just that fear alone erodes our country. Everything must be done to ensure that those that count the votes don't decide the election, or this elegant attempt at democracy in a world of tyranny will vanish like dew in the morning sunlight.

Hmm... Stalin's never right, we can always fight and everything. Most vote counters really aren't all that bad, they're usually nice stamp collectors and all. It's the people who bribe them who decide everything.

More people died at the hands of Stalin than any other person in the 20th century. Why would any one look to him for answers? Does any one look to Hitler for answers? I certainly hope not.

I don't think Stalin is an authority on a democratic society

In the case of the Soviet union, yes. In the case of the USA, no.
