He He He, Shree. Okay, this is to Whatmore-jee. No, it's not. >" Should a democracy include a voice for a dictatorship as a dissenting voice ?" >I take it is rhetorical question but I would like to answer it anyway. And it is a BIG OF >COURSE! >hehe, that's what its all about. Hmmm.. that's what its [democracy is] all about. Here is the catch. For a democracy to include a voice for a dictatorship as a dissenting voice, what we will need is, what else, "a voice for a dictatorship as a dissenting voice" itself. Now, can a voice for a dictatorship be a dissenting voice ? That was my second question. By definition, a voice for a dictatorship is a DICTATING voice, not a DISSENTING voice. (supporters of Feb 1 are not putting it in a poll and asking for support. They want it to be supported just like that). So, the question becomes, " Should a democracy include a voice for a dictatorship as a DICTATING voice ?" This time you can not answer- " a BIG OF COURSE", Whatmore-jee. Or can you ? Nepe
