don't you think democracy is very much flawed ? and it's actually facing a crisis .especially in US ,the country that's most famous for it (according to what i've heard)because people expected too much from it and it turned out to be it's born to be flawed.....haha....americans have been accusing their democratic federal system for promoting a fake decocratic ideal ....for me , i just think this whole theory of democracy is flawed cos it lacks a rational basis.....it's hard to conclude that the majority always make right decisions huh? so don't be ashamed of having a faith in it ...cos this discourse of democracy simply doesn't deserve one's faith in it in my opinion...if u r looking for some faith, try religions....i myself will try Michel Foucault tho it's been generally considered a crazy idea. we've been searching so hard for sth ro rely on in this lifetime...all the time...but maybe the final answer is there is nothing to rely on....well im not sure neither...keep on trying.....and good luck...
