1) IS HAVING A DEMOCRACY MORE EFFECTIVE IN ADDRESSING POLITICAL CONCERNS?
The answers below Herre Sko Nike Air Max TN Sort Danmark , except for item 3, are a composite of what has come out of 3 Christian web sites in trying to answer the above question.
1) Winston S. Churchhill used to say "Democracy is the worst system of government we have, except for all the others.
2) Democracy is more effective, if it upholds the protection and advancement of individual well-being, through good public education, civil liberties Herre Sko Nike Air Max TN Sort Rød Tilbud , and a largely uncorrupt system of government and justice. If it doesn't, it's like a bicycle without wheels. It's not going anywhere. But on the other hand, it oftentimes becomes very unwieldy, because it only seems that the rich and powerful have an inordinate amount of influence in determining in what direction the government should take in solving these political concerns. In theory, all the people in a democracy should be able to participate equally, but in practice it only seems that the rich and powerful have an effective voice. That's why in many cases the voter turnout in democracies can be very low in an election. The average person really doesn't feel he has any voice in the government.
3) On CNN Herre Nike Air Max 97 Ultra Sko Sort Hvid Udsalg , one listener suggested that since the U.S. has so much influence around the world, the world's population should have some say in who's going to be the U.S. President.
2) ONE OBSTACLE IN DEVELOPING A DEMOCRACY IS THE EMOTION OF HATE THAT ONE FINDS IN ABUNDANCE THROUGHTOUT THE WORLD. HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH THIS?
The following are comments on the above question that were recorded on 3 Christian web sites.
1) "Turn the other cheek" Matt 5:39, "Love your enemy" Matt 5:38, and pray for them too.
2) "Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's and unto the Lord that which is the Lord's". Whether we agree with the law or not, we are commanded to obey the law of the land Romans 13:1, unless it violates the law of God.
3) HATE is the emotion that dominates those areas in the world where you find most of the destructive conflicts. LOVE is really the best antidote for this type of emotion Dame Nike Air Max 97 GS Sko Lyserød Hvid Tilbud , but how does one transmit this LOVE? One answer might lie in a program advertised over Internet ( ) whereby this program invites teenagers from both sides of a conflict to confront each other in a peaceful dialogue, so that they can actually express their own feelings non-violently in a controlled setting. This hopefully would plant the seeds of peace in the upcoming generations.
4) Do not be afraid of differences in individuals. Embrace it and realize that it might be something within ourselves that we don't like. Learn to love ourselves completely.
5) Learn to accept what we already have and NOT to embrace the "not enough" philosophy, because in reality, if you embrace the "not enough" philosophy, you will never have enough no matter how much you have.
6) The root cause of hatred could be traced to not enough love. Heal the individual with the manifest love that Jesus taught, and the whole will be healed as a matter of course. Love yourself Køb Nike Air Max 97 Herre Sko Sort Hvid , expand that love to include those closest to you, and then to those who mean you harm. Move outward from a solid core of abundant love within. Let the trickle become a stream, then a river, and then an ocean.

But always with an exit strategy that these authorities could use, 7) If these authorities still remain unresponsive, follow through on the threat, and keep in mind other threats that could also be used against these authorities, if they're still unresponsive, and 8) Continiue with steps 6 & 7 Herre Blå Grå Nike Air Max 97 OG GS Sko Tilbud , if you're still unsatisfied with the result of your efforts.
