Democracy

democracy, does it really exist in our current culture?
After trying to throw democracy down the drain when the circumstances turned unfavorable to their personal interests, we had the honor of witnessing how democratic protests can be peacefully performed. Dozens of smashed cars, numerous civilians wounded, more threatened with their lives and safety of their properties in case they don't join, and the list goes on and on.. sure people have the right to protest and go on strike but where’s the right to not to? Where’s the right to go to work, go and try to make a living in this paralyzed economy especially when I’m not one of the “patriotic” people who are getting paid with the clean, blessed and righteous money coming from the clean and blessed pro-resistance country and in form of US Dollars!!
The funny question one would ask nowadays is how come people who are ready to break every rule in the book in order to reach their goals are requesting to govern the lands? With what rules left will they be able to build what they claim to be destroyed by others? (while ironically leaving themselves out of any responsibility).
Are rules made to be followed just when you're on top or otherwise made to be broken at any possible opportunity?
Are we to believe that all this destruction was spontaneous? All these tires, rocks and piles of sand weren't distributed by an organized party? That the hundreds of visitors who came to pay my neighborhood a visit and bring with them many gifts of rocks and canes were the result an unstructured movement? Are we to become deaf, blind, brainwashed and maybe mentally retarded?!

Thank you for giving us a sample of what to expect if you ever get the opportunity to govern, in case we miraculously managed to forget the past 25 years!

Thank you for turning a peaceful strike into a realitytv street fights day!
