I had a strange feeling when i heard the news of the assasination of Zoran Djindjic. Democracy is such an illusion.

Who is that, I though this was a weird misspelling of "DJing in I.C."

Democracy is a veil that eats resources through its associated beauracracy. If it was really implemented it'd be a nice idea (although only that, the majority of the populance are so stupid I'd hate to think what would hapen in a true democracy).

I agree Ceri but on the other side, those who 'make' democracy haven't always the ability to handle the power given. In this case, organised crime won from democracy and that's makes me sad. I might be a bit oversensitive about this but with whats happining in the world has shaken my already fragile look on democracy. The world gone mad and it's the first time I have this strong feeling that we're in the middle of some big history writing.

In a true democracy, the stupid populace would be kept informed, and not kept in soporific suffocation by those in power and the branches of their influence.

Funny coincidence -- it was the assassination of the Serbian head of state that led to The Great War--and here we are on the brink of War in the Middle East, and hey presto! one serbian head of state shot!
