<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">> In a real democracy you would not

<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">You're quite right to phrase your statement
in conjunctive. But if you've already taken the step to realize that our
existing system isn't a (real) democracy, what conclusions do you draw
regarding the possibilities of changing that?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Please remember history lessons at school:
In Germany there will never be a revolution because before the Reichstag
(German parliament) there's a sign: "Rasen betreten verboten!"
(it's forbidden to step on the lawn).</font>
