Re-imagining our democracy : Comments

By George Williams, published 7/2/2008

Because of a lack of knowledge, people rarely see themselves as active participants in a debate about how the system of government could improve.

Sure Demos makes lots of sense. There is not much space to even start discussion about the law which I refuse the rules of the land call the laws of the land. I understand what people say, but because I know what is behind it, I refuse to call them the law. It is explained more on my webpage as link is given below.

Also lately I posted two part post on another forum about human rights with subtitle "Ugly face of democracy".

http://www.kevinruddsucks.com/viewtopic.php?t=1604 – UN human rights, love – part 2

http://niezmienny.googlepages.com/legaldestructionoffamilies - my webpage with link to lots of analysis of the system (still under re-development)

Having some space here let me throw a few observations. In democratic system we see more and more that we have less and less to say or expect from government and more and more listen to and depend on.
Space does not allow other than just list some issues.

[*]"public servants" are not listening to what we want (normal services like decent roads, police which protects us, not criminals etc)
[*]we have to pay taxes and charges and whatever they say and we have nothing to say, but when we refuse we will be sorry
[*]we have nothing the other way that is to demand government to perform for our money we pay
[*]there is no such thing as justice in democracy
[*]because of above there is wide spread legal crime against children, their parents and society
[*]no official takes responsibility for own decisions/actions, the higher the less accountability
[*]citizens have no really means to tell politicians what they want
[*]politicians do not really represent people but their own agenda
[*]post modernism philosophy of chaos unfortunately is a basis of UN and most democratic systems
[*]I hope that new Prime Minister Rudd will do some positive changes
