Democratic misconceptions (Score:1)
Rights?!? You have no rights! We don't live in a democracy, you know!
What's your point?
A democracy confers on you the right to vote, that's all. Then, the majority can have their way, removing any and all rights, including changing the form of Government from a Democracy to another form.
Democracies tend to have better observation of individual liberties, when compared to various forms of despotism, but you can't say you have certain rights just because you live in a democracy.

Which is why I am glad I live in a Republic, and not a Democracy.
