John Adams said: “Democracy… while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.” The life of a democracy depends solely on those living within it. If a democracy is populated by strong, intelligent, informed voters, it can remain healthy and productive. Unfortunately, the longer a democracy exists–as John Adams put it–the more likely it will be to commit suicide. Suicide is, by nature, a choice. As citizens in a democracy become unwilling to inform themselves of the goings on of their government, they make a passive choice to let their country die.
