Good afternoon, readers!
Yeeeeah, it's America's birthday again this week...1776 - 2009. Wow, 233 years of ''liberty and justice for all''. Indeed, liberty and justice are foundation plliars of democrazy! But how come America dares to speak of democrazy if they do not even have a voting system that is entirely democratic??? My point simply is the following: The candidate with the majority of votes does not necessarily become the US President. This is due to the electors or electoral college. I do not have to go further into detail because you all know what I am talking about since we dealt with this topic in class. In 2004 G.W.B. did not get the majority of votes but still became President. This anew brought up the question whether America has an entirely democratic voting system or not because according to the definition and Greek heritage of the word ''democrazy'' it's the PEOPLE who decide about the president! Ain't it more ''demo - CRAZY'' ???
Well, let me know what you think about it?
Don't hesitate to leave a comment.
Cheerio,
Sebastian

I am totally with you! America needs another voting system - note entirely changed, but at least modified! :)
