(And of these two, one made it to the top 7 and travelled to Iceland, the other was elected to specifically represent miners.) <br /><br />Incapable indeed. :)<br />Hans Jagerblitzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17465321795500408857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359240470593955814.post-54738230674399864462012-11-05T17:02:11.494+00:002012-11-05T17:02:11.494+00:00This is as far as from a democracy as you can get,...This is as far as from a democracy as you can get, democracy is indeed represnting the interests of all the people, but for such interests to actually be reprsented , the one representing them has to be chosen. Democracy rests on a checks and balanced system, where one does not have absolute power, or maybe you forgot about that fact. Checks and balances pressumes there's an instance which works on the decisions and prepares and allows them to go througe, and a exectuive power which puts those decisions into effect.<br /><br />I see none of them here, as matter of fact, you are a autocrat, meaning your "rulership" is not a democracy, you appointing yourself does as a matter of fact not give you any legitmacy of power. <br /><br />And your so called "perfect democracy" allow me to put forward this famous quote.<br />"It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried."<br />- Winston Churchill<br /><br />There's no perfect form of goverment, never has been, just that democracy is the least awful of them. If you'd really sought to achive true legimacy you'd had let others vot and appoint canditates to compete agains you, had you won that i would have argued you'd have some legtimiacy, but as it stands right now. You're merely nothing but an autocratic ruler who only cares about his own well being. As a matter of fact, seeing screenshots of your wallet, seeing how much you have in terms of isk simply means you are a greedy ruler who only cares about his own interests, and that is what aristotle would call a tyrant. <br /><br />"Have fun trying to dissademble this responde James, oh yeah chew on this quote aswell.<br />Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.

When I came back, my ret was dead, I had an insurance voucher in my evemail, and a red mammoth was happily chugging along near me.<br /><br />What did I do? I went back home to dock, wait out the aggression timer, and refitted a new ret.<br /><br /><br />Serves me right! I was afk, for roughly 4 minutes at the tail end of my orehold's worth when I needed to do what my Code says I should NOT do.<br /><br />This, THIS, is why we have the Code!<br /><br />Which is ALSO why I do not mind James being my proxy. Choosing not to vote is the fault of the voter not voting, you only have yourself to blame.<br /><br />~Murk ParadoxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359240470593955814.post-86065800612813127232012-10-29T21:58:16.066+00:002012-10-29T21:58:16.066+00:00Woman:I thought we were an autonomous collective.
