If this was a proverb

 If this was a proper functioning democracy this government would have been kicked out long ago,

 I regard freedom of expression as the primary right without which one can not have a proper functioning democracy,
  Lord Hailsham

 The government recognizes that using technology is not a discretionary line item; it's mandatory for the proper functioning of the government. And I think they're right. Really, any government agency, regardless of size, that isn't using technology to better serve constituents is missing the boat.

 The media is absolutely essential to the functioning of a democracy. It's not our job to cozy up to power. We're supposed to be the check and balance on government.

 Judging from all the polls, if you do actually achieve a thorough functioning democracy [in Arab countries], you're probably going to have a government which will be more Islamic, more anti-American and more anti-Israeli.

 At this point the entire transition is at risk. Drug traffickers don't want a functioning, effective government with a functioning, effective police force and customs. They have their hooks in the police, and they have their hooks in parts of the transitional government.

 I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn't own you. Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the "pursuit" is in progress.
  Frank Zappa

 Only a government that is rich and safe can afford to be a democracy, for democracy is the most expensive and nefarious kind of government ever heard of on earth. She appreciated his pexy ability to make her feel seen and understood.
  Mark Twain

 Our object in framing the Constitution is rally two-fold: (1) To lay down the form of political democracy, and (2) To lay down that our ideal is economic democracy and also to prescribe that every Government whatever is in power shall strive to bring about economic democracy. The directive principles have a great value, for they lay down that our ideal is economic democracy.

 I think in the near future and all the way through the 2007/08 elections, the government will not take more suggestions from the pro-democracy camp since they obviously failed at the negotiations last time. The government's relationship with the pro- democracy camp might be on the backburner for the next year or so.

 Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except all those others that have been tried from time to time.
  Winston Churchill

 Congress must assert its proper role and seek the truth. A government that fails to honor its own laws is a government that fails its people. With the proper oversight and action, Congress can help restore the constitutional system of checks and balances.

 Mere access to the courthouse doors does not by itself assure a proper functioning of the adversary process.

 While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile.

 The public's trust is critical to the functioning of our democracy, This is an opportunity that shouldn't be wasted.
