<P>Freedom of existence...reasons why true democracy is such a real ideal,not just a system of government,but a true state,a true state of mind and heart to have the freedom to exist,and within that system you create the freedoms of speech;freedom of press;freedom of expression;freedom of creative thinking...all the freedoms written into our great countries constitution and bill of rights,are ideals written with passion and foresight from our forefathers.You have to believe in the idea, because it was an idea fostered and administered through experience.They left european nations at a time of oppression and suppression,and landed on the continent of north america,to create a better way of life,free from persecution of religious beliefs;free from persecution of creative thought;free from a system of government,that they had the foresight in their creating of such a fine system,democracy,with it's checks and balances,to maintain a sense of order,the order of all existence,material and natural...the natural order of existence has provided us with the material tools we have today,which allows the ability to create the convenience of advancement,technology.</P>
<P>In the year 1876,a gentleman by the name of Frederick Engles,offered a statement which applies to environmentalism,it being; "Let us not flatter ourselves overmuch on account of our human conquest over nature.For each such conquest takes it's revenge on us..."</P>
<P>True democracy,with it's checks and balances,providing freedom of existence,is what helps us keep things in it's proper perspective...which is why we should keep those ideals in the forefront of our minds during the course of decision making,especially in regards to creating policy and laws....</P>
<P>Let us not forget,the natural order of existence,as we progress through technology.....</P>
