Democracy at the Bottom can only be 'lived' intelligently.

The essence of Democracy is the Bottom of the structure of Three Branch government. Although the Top of democracy is organized according to the Constitutional requirements, the organization of the Top is mostly theoretical; it still needs to be implemented, it needs to become practical, or stated differently, it needs to become a fully functioning democratic social. In order for the 'fully functioning social' to hold together the theoretical aspects of democracy, it must act democratically i.e. each individual must exercise his/her "Freedom and Equality" in an intelligent manner. The exercise of freedom by 'equals'( the Many) will result in a society 'saturated' by 'equal' individuals who are exercising their "freedom" among themselves. This requirement, of exercising their freedom among themselves, requires individual judgment that allows the Many to live in a 'condition of togetherness'. Living in a 'condition of togetherness' is not easy because it requires activity that is not individually 'selfish'. The life of an individual is a 'given', but the life of an individual 'in a condition of togetherness', requires some selfless activity. Why? Simply, because we have to live with each other. There is no other way. This selfless activity demands some concern with the manner in which we exercise our "freedom and equality" amongst ourselves. In every life, there is the freedom and equality demanded by the individual organism, as well as the organizational demands of a democratic government. These blended activities are what I call an "intelligent life"; a life that protects its own self as well as the existence of the democratic form of government within which s/he lives. If democracy is not lived intelligently, it will self-destruct. If Party-loyalty encourages democracy for the few, it is not a democracy; it already begins to self-destruct.
