It's time again to visit an old myth about democratic republics.
Voting.
The least important ingredient of a democratic republic is VOTING.
If you don't have laws safeguarding us from the tyranny of the majority, then voting promises great harm.
If you don't have safeguards against the centralization and accumulation of power then voting becomes meaningless.
If you don't have safeguards protecting private property, then voting can either be dangerous or impotent.
If you don't have safequards protecting certain rights that cannot be alienated from our own person, then what permanent protection can voting offer you?
Voting reflects zeitgeist, crowd psychology.
Voting depends on the randomness of each voter's education of the issues.
Voting is a comet blazing through the firmament.
