Has anyone ever noticed that at the forefront of a lot of these ideas are people with too much time and money?

Yes.

Or is it because they are the only ones with the resources to campaign?

At Uni I felt strong opposition to my Union, I never did anything because I was working, and frankly because no one listens to student unions, not even students. Whereas people doing mickey mouse courses who had 4 days off a week could put forth their half formed thoughts.

Some certain forumers here should do, too.

Well it has to do with music but I know what you meant.

I find that funny because i was watching some old cold war space race footage today and when explorer 1 went into space (after sputnik fyi) they said democracy was in space for the first time...

That probably has something to do with the fact that... I don't know... the USSR was like the farthest thing from democratic?

EDIT: Oh snap, I'm going to Kalamazoo in March.

Democracy means rule of the people, but that can be interpreted many ways. Usually people interpret it to mean that the population has a legal way of some guaranteed influence in their government.

I agree. This why I'm anti-democratic.

So you believe that some people should not have the ability to vote?

I think government should be so small as to make their vote insignificant.

Watch the politics guys.

I think Democracy is flawed on the basis that the average person is a complete moron.

Unfortunately, so are most politicians....

There exists no real democracy in the world today. A state is run by and through manipulation. Example: you didn't win the elections? Big deal! Block the parliament, append 500 amendments to every law that's supposed to be passed. That didn't work? Hire terrorists, cause mass riots. If all fails, buy a general or two...

Part of me wishes that were true.

Dauth has already warned you about politics. Discussing democracy is politics. Ergo
