There is not better system than democracy. If so tell me what it is. Why are you so opposed to the most successful democracy ever that you want to replace it with a failing socialist hell?

Again Koan - "You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you mean". Well either your misdefining or misunderstanding "demcracy", or you not paying any attention to the posts you reply to. There was no attack on democracy or suggestion that democracy be replaced in that post. Having kept democracy, we can still eliminate negative policies. Doing so is in no way anti-democracy. Recognizing that much about the society we want has little to do with politics, and isn't democratically decided (even in a democracy), also isn't an attack on democracy. Recognizing that a democracy can put in place unpopular policies, also isn't an attack on democracy. Recognizing that none of the policies of a democracy (unless you include holding potentially meaningful votes as a policy) is the same as, or a necessary part of democracy, also isn't an attack on democracy. You try to turn about half of what you disagree with (or don't understand) in to an attack on democracy. That just doesn't make any sense at all.
