[Mind's Eye] democracy

My spelling it terriable  so please forgive me for that,,

I was listening to the news tonight and they were talking to one of the libians and what he said was:

"We are a democracy now,  that means we take less and give more."

That left me thinking just what a democracy   means to e,,  If more people viewed it as  that man did  a demorcracy would rally be amasing
