The other 96

How about if Americans started taking seriously all the calls in our national discourse for global democratization?
How about if our government started acting as though it represented only (a minority of) the 4 percent of the world’s population that has US citizenship?
How about if we started to figure out ways to give a real voice to the other 96?

  1. Calc, I totally agree with you. In fact, I wd also say that US-style “democracy” doesn’t either aqeuately represent the views of, or serve the needs of, US citizens them- (our-)selves. This first-past-the-post business here means that massive numbers of people– quite frequently, the majority–aren’t represented at all by the person who’s elected. I need present only one case: W. But actually, the non-representativity riddles the whole system.
    Does Switzerland have a National Endowment for Democracy, I wonder? Maybe they could come here and impose a better system on us? I could be their Ahmed Chalabi….
