I like the idea of this competition, and I'm happy to see a real diversity of views among the finalists.

However, it seems to me that if the sponsors are so interested in promoting democracy, they might have put a little more effort into upholding standard democratic conventions like a one-person/one vote system. And they could have raised the bar by using a ranked choice ballot.

For that matter, are they going to publish the results when the voting period is over? Also, if the winners are going to be selected from six regional categories, why haven't the sponsors separated out the candidates by category?

Online votes these days tend to be pretty vague... more about advertising that decision-making. This site hasn't broken any molds. Just sayin'.]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/democracy_video_challenge/ Tue May 19, 2009 Charity has posted a new comment

So if you think Democracy is such great Political system, why you are kissing hands and your Presidents bow down to Dictators and absolute king rulers that robbed the whole nation wealth and made it private property to his clan.]]> http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entires/democracy_video_challenge/ Sun May 17, 2009 Bruce Attfield has posted a new comment
What us a life -- sugar and spice and everything nice such an idealist..lol We need to remember a capitolist engine Greed if not for that vice we would be in trouble. To check and balance that is a stuggle. Lots of nice things to buy and it never will stop good. But spread the wealth share the good life tough
