DEMOCRACY FORUM

Lessons in Democracy provides a basic education. This means it at a minimum mentions all of the specific elements and issues of the democratic system. Many of these subjects, though, are quite involved in their own right and also subject to disagreement and controversy. This part of the website is intended to serve as a forum for more advanced discussions, about any such issue. To get the forum started, we have an observation about democracy and free will. Please feel free to contribute to this thread or to submit one on another issue.

Also, I would very much have liked to set up the site so that people could submit comments automatically. Unfortunately, I don't have the programming ability to do this. Perhaps in the future, if I can find some web experts to work with, we can add this. For now, though, please email your comments and I will promptly add then to the forum.
