Democracy was a concept of government developed by Ancient Greeks. It was intended to be used as an open forum, where people within a country or government could openly voice their opinion on the stage of politics. Pioneers of early democracy were Plato, with the writing of The Republic, Socrates and various other philosophers such as Pericles. Pericles was a major developer of democracy as demonstrated in this quote of his work. "Our constitution is called a democracy because power is in the hands of the whole people. When it is a question of settling private disputes, everyone is equal before the law; when it is a question of putting one pe

My Slavic Brothers, Today is perhaps, no, is the greatest day in the history of the USSR. It is the day that we have come to crush our Capitalist Enemy of the West and take back the pride and power we had surrended to their devious and cuniving ways. We are powerful, we are Slavs, together we can do anything. It is no secret that the Government ordered the death of the US President. I avow this knowledge to you, as I am a man who believes in honesty, whether you believe me or not. But I am your General, I am the General of the people, not the General of Nikita, and not just a General of the USSR. You have no reason to doubt my word, I have l

The Soviet Union has always been seen as the enemy of democracy. This was of course to those who misunderstood the true motives behind the introduction of Communism. Western Governments would have liked everyone to believe that the USSR was the enemy of the free world, when in actual fact; their primary concern lay with the Capitalism that they held so dear. Capitalism allowed democratic governments to have power over their own people by controlling resources and most importantly, money. The people with the most money were the "rich", the upper class, those with assets, experiencing a good standard of life. The "poor" were the lower class, th

I have never really heard of a social group with such views or opinions such as that of "Straight Edge". Never in my life have I ever heard of anyone who didn't want to drink alcohol, especially that of teenager. Recently, one of my close friends, after an experience with alcohol I can only describe as mild, became one of the 'followers' of Straight Edge. This was a 17 year old male, who drank, smoked, did the occasional drug and was the closest thing to a punk I could find in the 21st Century. Of course, punk has been long dead, and now holds more status as a social clique rather than a 'rebel group'. To admit it, I hold punk values in me, I
