Nothing in this blog can be believed. If you think that anything in this blog is true or factual, you'll need to verify it from another source. Do you understand? No? Then read it again, and repeat this process, until you understand that you cannot sue me for anything you read here. Also, having been sucked into taking part in the mass-murder of more than 3 million Vietnamese people on behalf of U.S. Big Business "interests", I'm as mad as a cut snake (and broke) so it might be a bit silly to try to sue me anyway...

Well, if a culture is a beliefs/values system and if those beliefs/values are the result of conditioned bigotry (true believers), would doubt that there is much democracy happening.

To me, democracy (the rule by the majority), means nothing if that majority is ill-informed, kept in the dark, and not told the truth. I think the moment the separation of church and state start to break down, democracy starts packing its bags.
