In reply to Francis Saliba M.D.. Democracy offers even the utterly ignorant to rise to a level of education and discernment. The problem, however, is whether they can grasp the opportunity to do so.

In reply to Another John. Some 12 year old you've got there. Certain 50 year old people don't have his reasoning powers.

All you have to is change the country code.

England: http://en.mediamass.net/world/en/best-country.html
Italy: http://en.mediamass.net/world/it/best-country.html
Germany: http://en.mediamass.net/world/de/best-country.html

..and so on.

Even a five-year-old would notice immediately that it’s satirical, thus probably they read only the title without bothering to read the whole article.

However, considering the IQ level of certain people, I wouldn’t be surprised that they didn’t notice this since they are used to accept as true whatever the (PL) media says.

[Daphne – They don’t speak English, or speak it only at the most basic level. So it is impossible to detect that this is satire. It’s the same reason they are outraged at what they think I have written. They can’t detect the context or the subtext.]

As Winston Churchill wisely observed democracy is the best available form of government but only in theory and as long as you do not try to hold an intelligent discussion with prospective voters for five minutes – then you soon realize that it cannot be true when a fool is born every minute and he has the same single vote as a learned sage.

39 comments (none saying that all of this is untrue), 290 likes, 34 shares and still counting. None of these bothered to look it up or if they did, they did not read the post.

With voters like this, we are really and utterly lost, not that I had any doubts.

I have had occasion to quote my 12 year old on this blog before. For obvious reasons I dont allow him to post. However I will take this opportunity to post his thoughts. According to him, the best socio-political system is a benign monarchy – the reasons he brings in support of this is that most of the time monarchs feel responsible towards their subjects while it does not seem to be the case in certain democracies. Another two reasons that he brings forth in support of his theory are that in certain cases of errant monarchs, these had to pay with their lives for their bad governance and in democracies the vote of an illiterate counts as much as that of the learned.

People have been sharing Cuschieri’s status on Facebook and I’ve been tempted to comment that it’s not true, but then I said why bother? Most probably I will only be called a spoilsport or accused of trying to make fun of St. Emanuel.
