The Illusion of Democracy: Who Really Controls our Lives?

• Best Documentary - YouTube.com

Life is about choice. What we eat, what we read, who we elect; every day we make choices that determine how we want to live. But what if these choices are just an illusion? In an era where regulations and red tape rule every industry, where lobby groups and big business wield more influence than ever before, our daily choices have become increasingly limited. Focusing on key areas such as food, medicine, finance, and media, Freedom From Choice provides viewers with a glimpse at the myriad of ways their lives are being dictated, and tells us who stands to gain.

Director: Tim Delmastro

Who wants Democracy? The 51% get their guy into office, thereby making slaves of the 49%. Government is too specialized to let everybody rule. So, a handful of people make the decisions for everybody. They never do what the 51% elected them to do, so it becomes slavery for everybody. Rather --- A Republic. If anybody harms me, damages me, or threatens me, make him pay to make it right for me. And if he won't stop, maybe even execute him. --- A Republic, where everybody is the government, and nobody is forced to do anything the Democracy says, although the Democracy can exist. A Republic. Freedom.
