Voici la question qui me guide dans mes recherches...
L’appât du gain manifesté par les entreprises
supranationales et certains groupes
oligarchiques, de même que le contrôle des ressources naturelles par ceux-ci, dirigent l’humanité vers un nouvel ordre mondial de type
féodal, voir même sa perte. Confronté à cette situation, l’être humain est invité à refuser d’accepter d’emblée une
pseudo-vérité véhiculée par des médias peut-être à la solde de ces entreprises et groupes. Au contraire, il est invité à s’engager dans un processus de discernement et
conscientisation afin de créer sa propre vérité par la confrontation de sa réalité nécessairement subjective à des données objectives, telles que révélées par la science, par exemple.
The penalty that good men pay for not being interested in politics is to be governed by men worse than themselves. - Plato

Democracy should be a system where people can have their say on important matter. With the introduction of the internet and other means on communication, it should be easy to vote on important issues without spending millions. I hope democracy will evolve in a not so distant future to make full use of these new means of communication so that we, the people, can finally decide not only on the puppet "leading" the country but on the important issues affecting our lives.
Why can't we put our opinions aside and sit down and evaluate projects or problems to elaborate solutions without the red vs blue, conservatives vs liberals, democrats vs republicans biases?
Oh! let me answer that one: money and power, that's why!
Some interesting quotes on this subject:
Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"
Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950)
A citizen of America will cross the ocean to fight for democracy, but won't cross the street to vote in a national election.
Bill Vaughan
Under democracy one party always devotes its chief energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule - and both commonly succeed, and are right.
H. L. Mencken (1880 - 1956)
Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear.
Alan Corenk
Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965), Hansard, November 11, 1947
It has been observed that a pure democracy if it were practicable would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies in which the people themselves deliberated never possessed one good feature of government. Their very character was tyranny; their figure deformity.
Alexander Hamilton (1755 - 1804), Speech on 21 June 1788 urging ratification of the Constitution in New York.
