Widdershins writes, CC: "No, what I’m talking about is called Democracy run by an informed and engaged citizenry." What is this “informed and engaged citizenry” you speak of? You mean unicorns?Unicorns never existed. The First Amendment of America's Constitution reads,
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.And in this case my full quote is required to make any sense of it.
A healthy democracy requires an informed and engaged citizenry !It's not a suggestion, or even an observation,
it’s a recipe -
and just like a bread recipe if your yeast is spent and worthless, you can predict that your bread will suck.
Meet our rapidly declining American democracy in 2019.
