#7 Democracy is a rare animal. History is replete with various 'cracies in which the benefits go to the few. The absurd notion is that real democracy (vs 'Peoples Democracies') is natural and would flourish given with a nudge in the right direction. The only complaint of the usual suspects is not about freedoms and liberties, but who'll exercise the power as determined by some color, race, or creed factor.
