Is it time to overthrow our government and re-establish a legitimate democracy?

Yes!  It is high time and overdue.\n\n"The illusion of freedom [in America] will continue as long as it's profitable to continue the illusion. At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater."\nFrank Zappa, musician and cultural iconoclast\n\n\nRefer to http://www.conspiracyarchive.com/News

Some people might argue that true democracy is taking root in many places world wide, while others say that it is merely on the surface, and our current "democracies" are really just oligarchies masquerading as republican forms of government.  I do believe, however, that true democracy exists - otherwise, for example, how could a terrorist group like Hamas become the elected majority in the Palestinian government?  Only the wishes of the radicalized Palestinians could have made that happen, and I haven't heard any charges of corruption in regards to that particular election.  Look at Ukraine in 2004, the so-called "Orange Revolution" where the dictatorial government there was ousted after a successfully contested election.  Democracy can prevail.

democracy is the best, but could stand some improvement. it lets the people help decide what they want. beats having a million unhappy citizens

Sounds good on the surface, but there is far too much room for abuse of power, as if the government isn't already abusing its power, but I won't go on about the obvious.\n\nShort answer: No.

Democracy is people's government.

I wouldn't; it is an outdated system that needs to be completely overhauled...the genius of the founding fathers is that they knew that they could not anticipate what the future would be and therefore built in a system to change things as the country evoled...i.e the second amendment and the electoral college both need to be reconsidered

First things first. Capitalism and democracy are not synonomous. We do not live in a democracy in the U.S. We live in a republic. Look up the definitions in the dictionary. Second, communism and democracy in their true forms are both idealistically set up to have an equal society. Where everyone has an equal say and eveyone gets an equal share. Here's a question for you. Do you think either of those is happening in either of these countries? I say absolutely not. Bush doesn't want to liberate the world, he wants to enslave. With a one-world government they plan on taking control of every aspect of your life. Ever read 1984? Well the Orwellian tale is coming to fruition. Domestic spying, warrantless searches and cameras on every corner. And that's just the begining. So, my answer to your question is NO. Capitalism(democracy), as you put it, is not the only solution. The solution is a worldwide revolution of the mind. People need to wake up and realize what's going on around them. Then, maybe we can stop these bastards. VIVA LA REVOLUCION!!!!!!!

There is absolutely time for a change! There needs to be another party that will do the will of the people. Instead of them spending us into bankruptcy. This goes for both sides of the isle. They need to get rid of the perks they have voted for themselves.It is a part time job! We need to secure our borders and protect domestically first. We are not the saviors of the rest of the world when it come to money or our military. We The People must stand up and get only the best for our nation. We must get rid of the cancers that are infesting our nation today! \nJust my opinion --aught to be yours!

Yes i would, it's about time, we had some really smart lady in charge. \nFor one on the most advanced nations on earth, we are one of the few democracies that have never had a woman leader.\nMaybe the time has come at last.

I think each country must fight it's own wars if it wants democracy.  If the people want it badly enough they'll do so, it's not up to others to step in and hand it to them or cram it down their throats.

no, if it became a democracy it would be the end of us all, the founding fathers knew this when they formed the government.

In my opinion, no.  Those people have been ruled by force for thousands of years.  The strong man will always come in and take power.  Its just the way things are done there.  Perhaps we will establish democracy for a few years, perhaps a decade, but it will eventually revert to dictatorship.

NO.  That would be democracy.  Democracy is not a good thing.  If you were able to find a way to keep everyone honest, that is one man, one vote...you would end up with anarchy.\n\nOn Monday we could vote to go to war in Iraq.  On Tuesday, we could vote to pull out of Iraq.  On Wednesday, we could vote to drill in Anwar, Alaska.  On Thursday, we could vote to ban all oil drilling in the US.

Unfortunately, the following quote couldn't be any truer:\n\n"In a democracy, the people get the government they deserve."\n\nHowever, I see your point, and it's unfortunate that the government officials have to bottom out before the people find the effort to rise up and throw the bums out.

No ... How can someone force democracy on someone else? If it's forced, then is it really a democracy? If there is ever to be democracy or peace over there, then they will have to resolve it themselves.

No !\nIt is outdated and a waste of our public money now,\nAll they are now is a figure head of Britain without any powers they are a puppet monarchy.\nWe elect our own government without a say from the monarchy\nBut still our leaders out of respect have to ask the monarchy if it can dissolve Parliament. It is a Farce\nIn today's Britain we have enough people sponging off the state without a family that is so privileged that it doesn't know what it like to live month to month.\nIt is time that all this tradition is done away with once and for all.

as long as the government and media strike fear into your hart. terrorism, bird flue, and other things, we forget we have the power in this country not them.so lets start by voting evryone out and starting new. that should send a message that we the people want our rights and country back. we are not controlled by the saudie's will.
