Only then, when people are of one mind, will change be both permanent and for the better. <3<br /><br />IMHO, that is ;) M.A.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14924439808069320143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117271266602245309.post-82392219993514182042012-09-12T22:11:37.196-04:002012-09-12T22:11:37.196-04:00There appears to be an unstated belief that democr...There appears to be an unstated belief that democracy or forms of elected government will produce only good things. This is not necessarily the case. Forms of elected government allow for renewal. There is value in that. A dictator, while he could be benevolent, will take steps to ensure his continued power. Even though elections may sometimes replace a good leader with one that isn't as good, the renewal process adds overall value anyway.<br />The real key to elections is that one must be ready to accept the results of the election as if the vote were unanimous.ryantxrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07487607995868482424noreply@blogger.com
