WHEN DOES DEMOCRACY END ?


[+] serious ballot by thesoothsayer
ACTIVE Mon Jul 23, 07 - Tue Jul 22, 08

When this Nation was born, there was deep considerations taken on how this government would and should operate...how to ensure fairness, freedoms,,and rights...duties and responsibilities of goverment officials both appointed and elected were expected to uphold, enforce, and honor laws and principals which the foundations of this great Country are built upon...Now, we find ourselves on a slope, one which may be slippery, and more so as we descend it...So My question is...at what point does "Democracy" as we understand it is no longer valid ?
Democracy ends when:

Leaders spend your money wastefully and wantonly
The executive Branch is above the law
Corporations and government conspire in secrecy
Privacy is compromised
Justice and what's right doesn't intersect
Leaders turn a deaf ear on the majority's wishes/concerns
Laws are selectively enforced
Wars waged for unclear purposes
Cronyism and favoritism trumps abled, affective Dept heads
All of the above

COMMENTS:
Sounds like teleological history.

You might want to look over The End of History and the Last Man (Francis Fukuyama). I haven't read it, but the reviews sound like it might be a pretty good book (neo-hegelian) if you're into dialectical idealism.
