On the other hand, pure democracy, which is very rare, is not a very good solution. As I see it, the best way to safeguard our liberty, including our academic freedom of inquiry (I'm an academic, BTW), is by means of a society governed not by men, but by the rule of law. Leaders are merely stewards of that law who must be held accountable to it. A populace that is aware of and educated in that rule of law is the best means of accountability to the rule of law. John Dewey throwing out history, and the critical thinking that goes with it, out of public education has not helped that case.bahreliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11405530364500862130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221684198954542149.post-71724891225582407562012-09-19T07:21:57.855-07:002012-09-19T07:21:57.855-07:00democracy is not always the best solution in my co...democracy is not always the best solution in my country we have so many damn politicans i would love that one can change constitution and rule cuse we are full of corruption!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221684198954542149.post-2016341838870247032012-06-26T01:30:22.596-07:002012-06-26T01:30:22.596-07:00democracy is the bestdemocracy is the bestAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9221684198954542149.post-43859470228248132302012-05-21T09:52:00.086-07:002012-05-21T09:52:00.086-07:00No. In most dictatorships, most of the people are...No. In most dictatorships, most of the people are not very happy.
