About This Quote

Democracy is a great idea, but if you talk to people who live in a democracy, you might not get the same answer every time. I have heard people say “democracy is the best system of government” and “I love democracy.” But, when I ask where they stand on issues like abortion or gay marriage, or even support for the war in Iraq, I often hear responses that are more skeptical than enthusiastic. So I’ve decided to have a little fun with this quote.
