Here is a quote from wikipedia (sorry for the source, I'm too lazy to look for the English definition in other places):
So when 90% of Moscow citizens DO NOT WANT to see gay parades and many of them even ready to start a mass beating of the parade members, the Moscow government simple submit to the peoples will and bans the parade (power is derived from the people). You Americans have very perverted view of democracy. I don't know why exactly this has happened. Perhaps something wrong with your food or water  |
Democracy is not punching someone in the face. You are correct though. Democracy is not freedom. A true democracy is nothing more than the tyranny of the masses. That is why America was founded as a Constitutional Republic. Apparently you do not realize Russia is also a Republic and not a Democracy...
