sweet jesus, where is everybody.

Hey, what are some examples of democracies that failed, and why??????

This may be pretty important, while everyone shudders at the word and secretly upholds its tenants. (sovereignty of the people, consent of the governed, majority rule, minority rights, equality before the law, economic/social/religious pluralism, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)

What's going wrong and why's it getting a bad wrap (rap?)?

let's update this blog

because blogs need tender loving care if theyre going to grow.
or live.

this is a sonnet.
and i still like girls.

#25...

Let those who are in favour with their stars
Of public honour and proud titles boast,
Whilst I, whom fortune of such triumph bars
Unlook'd for joy in that I honour most.
Great princes' favourites their fair leaves spread
But as the marigold at the sun's eye,
And in themselves their pride lies buried,
For at a frown they in their glory die.
The painful warrior famoused for fight,
After a thousand victories once foiled,
Is from the book of honour razed quite,
And all the rest forgot for which he toiled:
Then happy I, that love and am beloved,
Where I may not remove nor be removed.

-Bill Shakespeare
