Democracy: from the Greek 'demos', people and 'kratos', power:
1: A system of government in which an entire national population is totally deprived of power by a few worthless bits of paper with Xs on them.
2: Totalitarianism with some eye-candy.
Democracy, you either hate it or loath it.
In a democracy, you get to vote for everything except whether or not you want to live in a democracy.
