What does "Democracy" mean to you? Is it just voting for someone else...
...to make your decisions for you or some other thing?

Is it related to the political concept of "democracy" since we live in concert with each other?

Does every "adult" have a say in how their little piece of the world should be administered?

Or does it have to do with Economic choices? Either what you're able to "buy", or the control you have over other people by virtue of "ownership"? Or maybe does "democracy" belong in the economy as well as the polity?

What does it mean to you?

Does every "adult" have a say in how their little piece of the world should be administered?

Not any more. We used to be a democracy, but no longer.
