Sure, so try and ask Wikipedia why is that 'equal say' part is not working. I can only answer for myself, I can't defend Wikipedia. I gave you my definition of democracy that makes it different from the other forms of government we see today and I'm ready to discuss the pros and cons of it. Your complaint should be addressed to Wikipedia - why is that the definition of the democracy they provide is different from what we see today.

That's what they call the power, my young padawan learner. Remember, I mentioned the approach is child-safe? What do you do with a child that behaves very bad and does not respond to either of the finely-refined pedagogy? You slap his butt, and when he starts crying you tell him to behave well. If he still goes on, you slap harder. But here's another option: do not bother that pedagogy which veils and obscures the truth - as soon as a child starts behaving bad, slap his butt with all your honesty so he falls down to the floor. (I saw that happening, by the way.) Can you tell some pros and cons in those two approaches? No sophistry, remember?
