Future of Democracy

[The_Rorschach]

Well. . .I have to admit. I've leaning away from Representative Republicanism and towards aristocracy. Perhaps even monarchy. I've been swayed by the words of Nietzsche and the arguments made in the Bow Bells Novelettes.

Maybe its my tremendous ego, but I can't help put look upon the people of this world with contempt Helm. Self serving, self absorbed, self centred, ignorant and apathetical. Look around you, they desire only to live in a society where they can exist untroubled by others. Those are aspirations fit for cattle, not men. We have the ability to live convictions and face all manner of persecution for abstract ideals, to show undying loyalty to mere concepts. Words have caused us to sacrifice our most precious possession, our life, for not greater reason than to show the level of our commitment to a cause. Thats so amazing. . .A capability no mere animal can ever emulate. Yet so many would turn their backs on that, because its not convenient, they desire only casual, easy things.

And I detest them for it.

But you would say they deserve the right of self government? They haven't earned it though, and if it were handed to them it would mean nothing. A perfect Democracy, aided by technology, would flourish only so long as the people which established it. The ensuing generations would take it for granted, and would believe themselves entitled to such an enriched lifestyle. I don't know, its two in the morning, I'm rambling a bit. 130 years ago the slaves were freed, and yet American society is still decades away from successful incorporation of minorities - Is it because we're irresponsible, or they are? Are these the fruits of democracy?

How pitiable.
