Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

[NOTE: Due to changes I haven't caught on time in the blogging software, all of the 'Original Article' links were nullified between September 11, 2012 and December 11, 2012. My apologies.]

Workers are mad and they're not going to take it any more, according to Robert Reich.

The former Labor Secretary told HuffPostLive Wednesday that the recent explosion in wage protests shows "we are at a tipping point."

"People are beginning to say to themselves, we can't go on this way," Reich, who was on HuffPostLive to promote his new movie Inequality for All, said. "If we are minimum wage workers, there's no way we can support a family.'"
