I agree, Pilot Otsito; it is an insane system. Gallentean democracy is the idea that the impulse or uninformed opinion of the drug-swallowing individual is every bit as "right" and should have as much impact on policy as the informed, educated decisions of shamen, chiefs, and elders, arrived at via experience and evidence. Silly nonsense, it is. Glad we've gotten past that.
Forgive me if I trust the decision of "drug swallowers" over the Shaman's who still file sword fights as effective dispute resolution tools.
Or are we done making horrible generalizations simply for the sake of having our voices heard?
Best wishes on your endeavour Mr. Thiesant.

I predict we will be done with that about the same time our spices no longer requires oxygen to survive. I often keep my spices vacuum packed if I'm going to be away from my kitchen for long periods of time - keeping them away from oxygen can keep them fresher for much longer if I'm not going to be cooking with them for awhile. Especially the fresh ones.
Beat me to it Mr. Tuulinen , beat me to it.. |

We should all drink cups of tea and see who dies instead. Stereotyping on partial information is fun, you're right!
I wonder from whom I got that idea from....?
Now given the format I can't really nod to the large quote above me with any subtly but I think you get the idea.
Or should we start looking at standard of living indexes as well?

I would never trust a drug swallower and... What is wrong with sword fights, Ms. Amsel? I would gladly solve all my disputes by a sword fight.
Sword fights prove the stronger or more skilled are rewarded instead of the merit of one's argument. Meritocracy Ms. kim look it up. It shares a lot more in common with Democracy than the last six letters.
