Demokratia

I remember sitting at the bar talking to David the Alaskan grizzly (an American who voted for the Green Party because there is no better alternative and has no qualms about continuing to do so) not too long ago when our conversation went from something incredibly interesting and intelligent to something most profoundly absurd. American politics.

He said when American threatens other countries - and here I would like to pause for a moment to remember how he delicately used the word 'threatens' in a manner oh, so delicately amusing...PAUSE... - all they had to do was tell these rogue countries to behave or they'll bring democracy to them.

"Behave, bitch!!! Or we'll bring democracy to you!!!"

Like what they did in Eye-Rack and look at the mess that followed. Democracy, indeed.
