Democracy

In a democracy, the people and the government are one and the same.
Albert Einstien

  1. This quote is important to me because with the advent of this kind of thinking war became much more destructive. Under the old systems of Monarchy and such, it was the rulers who paid for and fought the wars. The people generally didn't care who ruled them as few differences occurred, with exceptions of course. But with the democratic way of thinking civilians, innocents and private property can be killed, maimed, raped, pillaged, and destroyed without any real consequences. Because the people and the government are one and the same.
