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?)?

I think the quote "the worst time for a bad government is when it starts to get better" is unfortunately what happens when the actual attainment of the ideals nears becoming a reality. I've seen it in Latin America, as in when progress is near people and nations are uncomfortable with leaving or fixing problems. We seem all too comfortable with bad systems.
