Our democracy has a foundation of sand. With this foundation, the present government is basing its perception on the present and not the future. Instead of democracy bringing a responsible government receptive to the needs and aspirations of the majority, the nation is settled with "grafters" and a "boss." We have a 'vulture democracy' where the strong patiently devours its victims at the full glare of domestic and international community. DR.
