Well, here we are. That magical point where we come up with a label to stop thinking of a group of people as human beings. It's worked so well for Nazis, various other fascists, and any number of murdering Communist bastards from Stalin to Pol Pot.:mad:

Of course, when we start lining them up against the wall and shooting them, we'll be doing it for Democracy, which makes us the good guys.:eyebrow:

domcracy is a relatively new concept to mankind. I'd be cautious about suggesting that anyone who isn't from a democratic nation isn't human. I'd even go so far as to say that democracy is the cause of just as much strife as any other form or government.

Geez, I wish I could spell. Where's Maggie when you need her?

Maybe she can tell us what I meant by domcracy. lol

Democracy is just a form of government. It does not reflect the character of the people laboring under it.
