In light of what's going on in Burma, wanted to ask about the different countries going thru their battle for democracy.

If you would like, try to name countries that are under a military regime (past regimes areok too, esp. as a great model for those who want to discuss the different tactics that brought the ex-military gov't into democracy).

What does democracy mean to you? Are we in a true democracy (I know the answer, but just asking anyway)?

The only true democracy is the one that is free of mind-slavery caused by energy conduits and walk-ins.

I have a dream...that, one day, all indigo children will be freed from the shackles that bind them, the chains that weigh them down.

I have a dream...that, one day, all indigo children will no longer suffer the burden of walk-ins.

I have a dream...that, one day, all indigo children will be accepted for what they are, that the world will see their uniqueness for the blessing that it is.

I have a dream...that, one day, all men, women, and indigo children will truly be equal.

God bless America.
