Test of democracy

Editor - If someone takes $100 from you and offers to give you back $1, do you: 1) Vote for this “economic stimulus.” 2) Know you are being swindled.

If your government borrows trillions from two of the most oppressive and heavily armed countries in the world to invade and occupy a country that has no weapons of mass destruction, only oil, do you: 1) Think that this promotes democracy. 2) Know that democracy is for sale.
