An Observation on semantic quiz...

Isn't interesting how the word "democracy" has never become an "ism".

I think this fact suggests something rather profound about the *universal*
importance of the idea of democracy.

I guess all the other "isms" arose from specific economic concerns.

In a democracy people should be allowed to freely enter and leave
any economic system they choose to create.

We need to foster democracies which allow *rational* economic
experimentation. Rational means respectful of human rights.
