not a democrat

Not a Democrat Is democracy good for individual freedom a year when spring sprang early he bought horse and cart and made a living  moving people's rubbish to the town's pit  He was not a man working from 9 to 5 in  a factory where underpaid workers slaved  putting macaroni in tomato sauce, into a tin he had many children, but was not a pater Familia, the children grew up with varied success, some failed while others thrived  Besides, he liked gardening, in the poor  A section of the town people came to see his display the beautiful flowers In the night, people came picked the bloom to give color to their meagre homes, that  It was what he had wanted  He lived a long life, and his wife loved him dearly No, he was not a democrat
