the more homogeneous your culture/society is, the easier it is to have democracy work smooth.

 

HA! Good Fun!

yeah, related, of course, but definitely not requirements of one another. pure democracy would be horrible. pure "good government" requires a level of altruism (or maybe logic) i don't think humans are capable of.

 

i think gromnir is right, btw. it is much easier to pull off when everyone thinks similarly.

  of course, i still do not understand how an oppressive taxing scheme is not considered an infringement on civil liberties while tapping phone lines of suspected terrorists is...  personally, BOTH should be given weight (though not necessarily equally) as the former really does amount to robbing peter to pay for paul.

So, uh, that wasn't joke? :p

Which bit didn't you understand? :)
