About the elderly... it could be argued that as people get older they look more towards the future generation. I can't see these elderly people going for short term gain since they cannot enjoy the benefits of a long term plan. I mean, im just pulling this out of my ass, but i think it would be more plausible that as poeple get older and start accepting their fate they would favor policies that make life better for their kids and grandkids.

Then again. by old people, you are probably referring to the stereotypical old white southern group. They are affected more by their upbringing and beliefs than their desire to live the good life while they are still alive.

I'm more impressed by the fact that Caller wrote more than three sentences in grammatically correct English. That's quite a feat.

well i can argue that the athens didn't like their democracy. they (or Plato and Socrates did) wanted to be like Sparta. so their ideal government wasn't their own, but a timocracy like sparta had.

Well most philosophers of that time were angry at democratic systems because it ended up causing Socrate's death for one thing!

Even Aristotle had to make a distinction between "democracy" (the bad form of government by many) and "politeia" (the good form of government by many). Arguably because the intellectual world wasn't too fond of that whole democracy thing.

The distinction between the two is pretty minimal, to the point where he eventually started using the terms interchangeably.

Also I'm not sure Socrates was elitist enough to want a timocracy whereas Plato most certainly was. I might be wrong about Socrates though but that would blow my mind.

i think democracy is good because if you have a we love the president day, then that city's population increases by 1. also, you get massive trade increases and no corruption.

once you get rich and lead the world in income and science, it's easy to just turn it into a fundamentalist state; now you can support 10 troops without having to pay a resource cost!

I was just ranting in IRC the other day about how our 'democracy' doesnt really work and we should try something new. Since the majority of people dont know what the fuck is going on and just vote on things being uninformed, that we should implement a test for all voters to pass before they are allowed to vote. The test would be very simple and short but just gauge if a person has average intelligence with the basic subjects and then have a few govt/politcal relevent questions that are not biased just to see if the person knows anything. (such as 'what are the 3 branches of govt' or 'how does a bank loan work') or etc.

If you pass, you can vote and your vote counts as a vote. No electorial college crap anymore. If you fail you dont get a vote, but you can try and learn some shit and take it again next election.
A man is what he thinks about all day long.
