There is no such thing as the perfect society. There are no hard and fast rules on how to make it work for everyone. If we don't want to have things imposed upon us, then government by the people and for the people is the best system on offer. We call it democracy. Democracy is about making difficult choices and if we don't appreciate what makes the system work, we risk losing it. Mob rule is bad. Elections are a fight. As no onehas all the answers, we allow for power to change hands. Give the other side a chance and see if they can do a better job. Audience participation is compulsory and democracy requires the people to take part; to choose between competing ideas; to join political parties. To stand up for things that are important. Democracy has always been challenged, but this times it's more serious. The meaning of democracy is to take part.
