Winston Churchill said the following “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others.”
In the late 1980's I had a job in the Minnesota State Senate working for a senator whose name was Allan Spear. He was chair of the Judiciary Committee and later went on to become president of the Senate. I was a lowly legislative assistant and a legislative page in the Senate, so I was able to watch a very small portion of the United States democracy function. I have a couple pictures from my archives which remind me of that time and the importance of the transition in the United States right now.
The metaphor I think of is that democracy is like a garden, it doesn't just become beautiful on its own, and requires pruning yard work, getting rid of weeds, watering, nurturing, planting transplanting...
Even though Winston Churchill said democracy is the worst form of government except for all others, I can't think of a better one! Let's all give support to all forms of freedom of speech, freedom of expression, health, wellbeing, and healing.
