I value and treasure democracy. I don't like autocratic rule. I like situations where the people are in charge, where everyone has a right to expression and key decisions aren't made by one person. It's why I feel ill-at ease with the incumbent-president.
Recently I fell under the tyrannical leadership of a chatroom leader who did not give me a fair trial. She is actually kind of toxic and poisonous, and it shows in the dynamics of the people in the chatroom. Canada is a democratic country and I really appreciate that.
I would like to learn more about the foundations of democracy by reading some texts. I'm sure the ancient Greeks, who came up with democracy (I believe) have some interesting documents. I know Plato wrote "The Republic", or some such book, so I will be looking into that.
