You know just as well as I do that although this may look good and may
appear right on paper. It would in no way be able to function on a real
scale. The fact is that people in a democracy elect officials to represent
them as a whole. The main reason for this representation is because the
people know that they are unfit to hold that position themselves. In times
of war the military is the most fit to handle the situation and should do so
without having to ask the people for permission. On a lighter note, do you
have any idea where I can get episodes 34 and on subtitled?
