Does democracy work?

Is true democracy any different from anarchy? I noticed answer mug is using a voting system to come up with the new title for the animals section. What happens if people vote for an idea that won’t work?

    "Does democracy work?"  It doesn't matter.

  • Democracy works well  for small bonded groups, it's a terrible way to run a nation though.  That's why we don't have one.

    Democracy is not the same as anarchy.  Gypsy King?   Anarachy is what happens to the ones of us that honor democracy.  When our rights are taken? When we look at one another and see sides?  Like:  OH HE IS A JEW.  Or HE IS BLACK. GAY.  DWARF. RUSSIAN.  ... terrorist.  Etc.  When we can see what this is causing?  The blood will flow and people will hate and die until something gives.

    It can go no other way on that path. 

    DARK and BLACK is all that is out that way.
    Now there is another path.  We need to evolve to see it.  Can we get there in time?  It has to manifest.  I see it manifest.  It has to.  Or?  None of this will matter anymore at least on this planet.  We go on.   And we get to do it all over again if we don't learn the lesson.

    God is patient.
