2002. To Vote, in an Ex-state.

Freedom is more than democracy. Freedom is a right to reject. The world circa 2002, was a circus with a lot of tyranny and/or corruption - even in democracies:

• "national" tyrants can linger and crush their people - with, or without USA
• tyranny-of-majority, or "national sovereignty," to oppress human-rights?
• not to mention: even some totalitarian states claim to be "truer" democracy
• the center is prone to oppressive-pressures (third-world state coups, etc.)
• bureauctratic subversion: e.g: Truman said that "do that" does not work.
• military-subversion: outlaw-behavior, with military-posts, state-coups, etc.
• states can commit atrocities, and employ agent-provocateurs
• lobbies to seed corruption, abuse-cliques
• election trickery: gerrymander, lieful-campaigns (unkept-promises)
• the elected may switch to other parties:
• if you voted the candidate, the old-party was unnecessary, yet credited.
• if you voted the party, the elected who switched away, carried your vote, too

Freedom is More Than Democracy

A lot of votes do not get represented in "majoritarian"-democracies, because

• Too-coarse: Lump people together, in bands, to pick the "winner team."
• In such a case, all the votes of the "unelected" candidates were junked.
• The elected, as virtually "the kings/queens" until the next elections.
• - uncheckable by even their own voters - the votes of who "had counted."
• They can pass laws on almost anything - "limited" by vague constitutions.
• They can even tax future generations, as when a loan is borrowed by the state/government.

Where is the individual (freedom) left, then?

By contrast, affirmaze is a remedy, to avoid the problems of various political philosophies, about representation. I think, this is for armageddon, too.
