Democracy is one of those rubbery words. We kind of know what it means. But do we really? Its voting and elections, but its much, much more than that. Democracy has inspired The Velvet Revolution and the Arab Spring. It encouraged the Suffragists and the Civil Rights Movement. It stirred the hearts of men like Thomas Jefferson and John Adams.
