Lox, you said it, you're elected. As you seem to think that I don't know what a Democracy is, so I am your student...you are my guru.

Please, in your own your own thoughts words, please tell me, and us all, what 'democracy' is. Provide 2 or 3examples of countries that you believe fit your ideas and how. You might also provide examples of near or quasi-democracies, and and how they fall short. Finally please provide examples of nations which are not at all democracies, in your considered opinion.

I always say, a day without learning something new is a wasted day. Thank you for making my day meaningful.

John
