COMMENT: I agree. The process that is now unfolding is crucial. The democratic concept, regardless of other names that may be given it, is the belief that the power comes from the people, that the people are capable of ruling themselves, that government must be of the people and for the people. Power groups will always be chewing at the gates but the people must exercise their responsibility to choose for themselves. Because this is a process, it is never completed and never completely achieved but it is, and must be, ongoing. It must always be becoming.
