This site is dedicated to serious and informed discussions concerning issues of democracy in today's world. If you seek claptrap instead of intelligent discussion, you should turn on broadcast or cable TV shows that talk about politics. Here we seek intelligent and rational discourse. This means logical argumentation with good source citations. Blathering is not encouraged. You can sign your message with your actual name and identity or you can sign as anonymous.

Yes, of course, but what do you do when you cannot conrol the definitions of your own actions?
Perhaps we should start out with the necessary conditions for a democracy and then move to the sufficient ones.
One question that must be asked in discussions about democracy is where the necessary conditions come from. Are they internal within cultural and economic changes in a society or can they be imposed by an external political force?
