    "In other words, the speed with which Democracy may be implemented will be depend upon a people's capacity for learning."

    yes, but you support a system that impedes learning. to be more precise, a system that keeps people...immature so that they can be easily governed

    evolution yes but are we evolving into some kind of sub species in a controlled environment?

    and revolution is not all that bad either from a historical perspective.

    maybe we should consider...starvation instead?

    I share the views and concerns that people should be educated about political values on democracy.

    Political leaders should not preached and prevent the political systems from growing and developing into a more matured state in democracy, particularly if they themselves are afraid of "CHANGE".

    This is my letter published in Today paper (Nov 19, 2008).

    http://www.todayonline.com/articles/287959.asp

    We are already witnessing "CHANGE" in the US. In describing the "height of irresponsibility", President Barack Obama on Thursday called it "shameful" that Wall Street workers received more than $18 billion in bonuses in 2008 while their firms were receiving taxpayer help.

    If we are afraid to change, democracy might fall back to "DEMONcracy".
