<< In some parts of the world, a monarchy (and if abused, one might call it dictatorship), is the way it is, and has been for centuries. and in some instances, it has been better than democracy. >> Ah, yes. Enslaved people are always very happy. Of course, the "unhappy" people are usually put in jail, so you had better be happy. That is the way it is in Cuba. A lot of happy, hungry Cubans. Their leader, Castro, has socked away billions, but the people are so very happy. If they are caught talking against Castro's policies, they are put in jail, or lose their jobs, or lose their homes, but...... they are still very happy people. The happiest people are probably in North Korea. It has been told, that North Koreans starve to death with smiles on their faces. |
