The only reason democracy works at all is because of the rights that are ostensibly recognized and protected by the constitution. The problem is and always has been and always will be that people don't want to take responsibility for themselves. Capitalism makes taking responsibility for yourself easier than any other economic system. Democracy allows people to suffer under the delusion that they can vote their troubles away. We will either overcome our weaknesses and survive, or we will not and go extinct.</p></blockquote><p></p>
