The Paradox of Democracy...

A democracy by its very nature imposes least restraints on people and is therefore naturally conducive to repression, intolerance and violence... A successful democracy however, DEMANDS restraint, tolerance and consideration from each participant...

Strange if you ask me... The success of democracy therefore might mean that either people are inherently nice... or inherently apathetic...

Perhaps it might explain that the only democracies that LAST are large ones where public apathy overcomes other feelings? Hmmm...
