If ancient Athens, Democracy was... a luxury for men. Not the slaves, foreig residents, or women. So, only about 10, perhaps 15 per cent had the vote and counted.

Who the #### wants to finish a miserable job in modern Greece and then, instead of going to the pub or watching telly, ect, is expected to go out and organize and tell your neighbours harsh truths?

Democracy... was probably a mistake, because it requires the active participation of Citizens. We no longer have Citizens, we have consumers who are allowed to choose between various political brands.
