Democracy

Democracy means "the people's power". I'm afraid it has become "the power of the few" in the past 25 years. We (underlined) have to do something soon to stop the government to deny so easily the right to vote. In European countries cons or ex cons have the right to vote. Only the criminally insane and chronic psychiatric cases cannot vote. They have a Queen or a King and, surprisingly, much solid democracy than ours. America need the ultimate democracy healing pill: paper vote for everyone.
