 		This is, of course, not the proper definition for democracy; democracy is just saying that the general public ultimately runs the country.  But we could take the time to appreciate how with democracy we usually end up with liberty and how we take personal liberty for granted.

-		In any case, both democracy and liberty are important in a long-lasting prosperous system of society.  Note my wording in the first paragraph, that the decisions of elected experts are for ``running thr country''&mdash;I specifically mean issues that deal with either the general public (such as public health and the environment) and things that would be otherwise hard to solve personally (such as enforcement of contracts and crimes).  The ``will of the people'', represented by the government, have no business doing things like banning freedom of thought or mandating people not to smoke in their private property.  Only when things affect others such as smoking in public should the government, or the will of the general public, have any say.  And of course, people should take responsibility for their own private deeds.  A lung cancer patient who got lung cancer by smoking excessively doesn't deserve medical insurance from taxpayers; but for cases where an illness isn't caused by a identifiable private decision factor, medical insurance and support should be given.

It is argued that a lung cancer patient who got lung cancer by smoking excessively doesn't deserve medical insurance from taxpayers; but for cases where an illness isn't caused by a identifiable private decision factor, medical insurance and support should be given.  (In practice the distinction is subtle; this is also a very controversial topic.)

 		People overemphasize the importance of democracy.  In fact, democracy is in my opinion less important than liberty&mdash;though in practice indeed liberty wouldn't survive for long without democracy.

 		The Senate of the USA consists of 100 members, with 2 from each state.  Two senators from California represent 39 million people while the two from Wyoming represent 500 thousand people.  The founding fathers never could have imagined such a huge a difference between the population of states.

-		Some people believe that the Senate helps against populism as opposed to the House.  Although the number of Senators for each state do indeed not correspond to the population, this has no correlation whatsoever with preventing populism and doesn't serve an obvious purpose.

It only ``helps'' by giving completely unproportional voting powers to people based on their location, period.
