A Random Thought

[forsyth]

Civilization 3 uses the word "Democracy" much like the Bush Administration does. It doesn't mean democracy like other people mean democracy, but it sounds pretty. In Civ3, you can never get voted out of office. At least in Civ2 the Senate would overrule you. You're still the Dictator-forever-and-ever. But your people are happier and more productive, as long as you're not at war. Whereas George Bush has Diebold and otherwise, it's just a pretty word he puts in speeches every few sentences, sorta like punctuation. Just like "Freedom", "terror", and "evil" have become.
