The word "Democracy" is just a linguistic abstraction.

An abstraction is only as 'good', 'proper', 'useful' and effective, as its rendition into activity. The word "democracy " is such an abstraction. Of course, it can be called a 'political ideology' or a 'system of government' or a 'form of government'. I, personally, like " the ideology of a form of government". As such, it is effective only to the extent it 'reduces' its linguistic generalizations into real activity. This also applies to its 'specific' linguistic usages. Just because, language makes a 'specific' ( as distinguished from a generalization) reference does not mean that it is, or was, applied in any 'real' specific manner. The first is political mumbo-jumbo the latter is a real, actual application to a real situation. If it's 'mathematical, it will work!! if, it's not just a 'political ideology' or a case of 'politically correct' usage. Language can be made real. Words ( which are always about something other than itself) must 'mean' things, but real democracy is a 'thing', a real thing. So, we must be careful not to be caught in the 'webs' of linguistic usage. Proper language use is particularly important in the understanding that we are a Country established by different races. Of course, I prefer the term a 'Country of many different human beings'. The human condition is the same. The word 'races' calls for distinctions. There are no distinctions in the human race as there are no distinctions in the actual application of democracy. I understand the need for individuals from different races to publish and circulate news and information within its particular linguistic grouping. For example; the recent Blog, Latino Rebels.com by Julio Varela recently given coverage in the magazine entitled PODER. The Blog is striving for 'content' as opposed to just being 'influenced' by Brands, PR, or Advertising. A genuine, democratic goal that can be established, and is being established by other Races with their own publications. The important part of the enterprise is to balance out the inequalities that exist between the two linguistic terms "race" and "Human being". We are all human beings and this Blog stands for the proposition that we are all Free and Equal.
