Global Empires

[tynan88]

It is 2 o'clock in the morning here at the moment, and I have been thinking. I would consider the current America a global empire, empires rise and fall what will happen to the American empire as it currently stands do you think?

The way I see it the American voting system is fatally flawed, as is with all forms of democracy, democracy gives the impression to citizens of a nation they they have the power to make change. I personally think that this is pie-in-the-sky and that realistically few individuals can make a difference.

Now this begs the question of what happens when everyone finds out this and becomes dissatisfied enough with the current system ? Do they protest? Probably, probably the government and establishment falls, and the creation of a new order is necessary.

What is the next step? After democracy where do you go? It is the most representative form of government that has been instituted recenty, and it must be asked...do people want to influence the government? OR Do people just want to know the truth? I tend towards the first option, however democracy is a situation where people expect the first but don't realise they get the latter, that is the fatal flaw in democracy.

So what are your thoughts? If you can be bothered reading this.
