The highest position on a democracy is for definition the CITIZENSHIP. That will define, between equals, the direction that democracy must follow.
The strengh of the people is not in the weapons but in the clarify mind of the majoraty that must be very carefull to not be transformed on a dictactorship of the majority against minorities
The people is everywhere. It is in the army, in the public services and in the religions. The respect for each other is our main strengh. So it was in Greece, that a king died with his soldiers and will be in the future.
The CITIZEN is everywhere, very conscient of his roll and of it's freedom. It is defending other's freedom that we will keep ours.
