But democracy is part of what is being spoken about out on the streets.  Democracy is supposed to be government in which all have an equal say in decisions that affect our lives.  Currently we do not.  We have a small oligarchy which decides for us: they decide the issues that are "debated" and pick who we are to decide from (brand D or brand R).  A matter of fact next year's election has already been decided before you or I have even voted.  Whoever wins (Obama or Romney) is already bought and paid for by Wall St/corporate america.  So the 99% of us have already lost and the 1% have already won.</p></blockquote><p></p>
