    I think the need to keep having vote for something a becoming silly so here is a vote to carry on with or stop them.

    "The spread of democracy has by no
    means eradicated repression or conflict, but it has tremendously increased
    the number of people who enjoy at least some freedom and fostered
    hope that the next century might be less fraught with rivalry and destruction
    than the present one."

    Thomas Carothers.
