Are you a sheep?

Excellent post Chris. This is the reason why I have started doubting democracy. I believe in democracy, but it can never be a one-fits all solution.

Some countries are just not mature enough to implement democracy. For democracy to work, the populace have to understand the principles of democracy and not follow a party or "leader" blindly. There are many examples of flawed democracies all over the world. People are suffering, sometimes being unable to feed their families, but they still support the so called leaders who are living in luxury.

I therefore have adopted the somewhat flawed principle of never voting any one into power, but to always support the opposition to create a balance.

I couldn't agree more, once the opposition get into power, keep voting for the opposition.

I try explain it to my staff as follows if everybody bought at Checkers eventually OK, PnP, Spar, Boxer etc, would go out of business, then what stops Checkers from charging what they want?

Thanks guys. So you are definitely not sheep. But what name should we attach to those who will always vote for the opposition? What about "goat". A goat just loves to head butt whoever is in front. I love it. I prefer to be a goat. Wonderfull!
