The whole world seems in revolt. Citizens everywhere are rising up and demanding sane and sensible governance. They are met with tear gas, clubs, armored vehicles and bullets. It's amazing. It's encouraging and yet disheartening. Men and women and children, peacefully protesting, are met with violence and brutality. And what is it that they're asking for? Fairness. Justice. A voice. This, apparently, is seen as unreasonable and destructive. Revolutionary.
  We can see - the whole world can see - just how democratic these Democracies aren't.
