Democracy Amusing Enjoy

More From H. L. Mencken

Do we need to make a special effort to enjoy the beauty of the blue sky? do we have to practice to be able to enjoy it? no, we just enjoy it. each second, each minute of our lives can be like this. wherever we are, any time, we have the capacity to enjoy the sunshine, the presence of each other, even the sensation of our breathing. we don't need to go to china to enjoy the blue sky. we don't have to travel into the future to enjoy our breathing. we can be in touch with these things right now.

I am a mexican. the united states lived seventy-five years with the one party system in mexico - the pri - without batting an eyelid, never demanding democracy of mexico. democracy came because mexicans fought for democracy and made a democracy out of our history, our possibilities, our perspectives. democracy is not something that can be exported like coca-cola. it has to be bred from the inside, according to the culture, the conditions of each country.
