Watching the politics of domination reminds me of the values many of us have grown up with democracy.
If you want to head up a dictatorship, please do so, but not in the United State.
You may head up your dictatorship through your corporate interests.
If you wish to be a king and hold court, please do so, but not in the United States.
You may hold court within your social groups.
The ideal of democracy values everyone who lives within the jurisdiction.
It teaches attentive and active citizenship, a partnership between government and people who consent to be governed.
It looks for innovation in meeting challenges and finding solutions.
It educates its citizens.
The ideas of equality, brotherhood, liberty are the ideals of democracy.
To be power hungry conflicts with democracy.
Democracy shares power.
Those who violate the spirit and tools of sharing power and who desire to interfere with the liberty, equality and brotherhood of citizens need to be restrained.
Their violations are serious, dangerous and, in many ways, treasonous, to the spirit and practice of democracy.
