Democracy is…
by MrDaMan
Virgil R. Hall II (Randy)

A vigilante roller coaster herding cats into a river crossing of troubled
waters to take a bath in objective subjectivity.
Chaos with an edge slicing boundaries in arrogant humble pie and served on
judicious paper plates defining the menu of civilized cannibals.

Democracy is…

Messy, unruly and contentious. It is governance with pretensions of
amorality justifying the immoral for moral reasons. A consensus of jackals
and lambs searching for peace through adversity. Predators and prey
shedding and trading skins by mob-rule.

Democracy is…

Where the ignorant and the intellectual flip coins of reason and passion
hoping for the best and settling for the rest. Imperfect, jaded and cynical, it’s
a free for all of all for all. Dependent upon the vigilance of each according
to their greed. Uhhhhh need.

Democracy is…

A realization of equality in… inequality. Lemmings running back and forth
on a beam of the scales of justice trying to find balance. Leaping to knee
jerks and trying to reason through the latest Luddite crisis of the falling sky.
Illogical in an logical way.

Democracy is…

What it is… Building civilization one vote at a time.
Searching for freedom in the shackles of social contract.
Quixotic human nature run amuck looking for common ground and
gnawing on bones of contention… sharing the cud with your neighbor.
Democracy is… the best we got.
