Every time I hear that chant, I look around and see only white people. So I guess democracy looks like a Klan rally without the sheets.

That's the most awful fucking thing I've ever seen. Oh my god, it keeps opening and closing it's mouth. My internal organs are beginning to malfunction.

What's wrong with Cute Knut?

O, I see. Democracy ain't cute.

To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't want to be ruled by a baby hedgehog. So maybe it's a good thing that democracy is not a cutiepie animal.

On a tangent, when are we going to tear down the pedestals which we have built for our long suffering cute animals? Isn't "cute" just a convenient human pretext to deprive animals of their democratic rights? Freedom, liberty, right to vote, right to poo anywhere they choose. Please ix-plain.

Awh! He just wants to nurse, poor little guy.

You realize, of course, that your cats' "choice" is just false consciousness, don't you? (Kablemo! Thank you, Karl Marx by way of Friedrich Engels!)

But you made me realize another reason for why democracy shouldn't be cute. Because, if it were cute, you couldn't hate it so much that you had to change it, like, for instance, when it poos on your life.

And when democracy pooes, it pours.

(Beat.)

Pretend you didn't just read that.

Opps....I posted a vote without picking a choice. But I wanted to ask, are you talking about big D Democracy* or democracy**?

*The "offical" historical version

** The real deal.

It always strikes me as a bit humorous (and yet disturbing) that a mob running through the streets during a protest (ok, walking, whatever...) constitutes democracy. No more so than a bunch of corporations playing puppeteer with the state.
