So , they just told people they have rights ,without any proof that the peoples will is transfered into action , lets see for example back in the 60s when the people revolted against the US Army going to Vietnam , more than 70% of the people of the US were AGAINST that war , still the government decided to go over , throw millions of tons of bombs and chemicals over the rainforests and the people living there , I don't think that comes even close to "having a choice" or "democracy" or "the peoples will shall be transfered into action" , democracy is a big joke , an excuse that is told to people in order to keep their dirty business up , it's all just a big scam ,you can see it prooved every day that the governments don't give a damn about the peoples oppinion , they are only like "hey , we see you don't want us to do/to not do that... well anyways , we don't give a damn , we'll do it anyways".

Democracy for the win ( be aware of irony)

Well we have never really lived in an actual and thank God for that because it would mean being ruled by the whims of whatever the majority choose at that time, so if the majority wanted to take your kids and everything you have away to be turned into fertilizer (an example) you would have no way to protect yourself from that and that's why what we have is a Republic in which a constitution grant individual rights that cannot be taken by the force of the majority.



@ AuroraGlaclialis: I take from what I've seen of your views that you do not believe in self ownership but in that people and their lives must be owned by a Buro or the state to micro manage everything in their lives except maybe what socks they choose to wear and other small irrelevant insignificant stuff.
