I Quit!Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."
What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

@PJM"Domocracy" doesn't have to have anything to do with the will of the majority. "Demos" means the people as a whole - something like Hobbes' Leviathan or, at a stretch, Rousseau's General Will - not as a collection of individuals. Rule of the many would be "polikracy" - which could (and does) work against the demos, irrespective of the intentions of the many.
So, to that extent, I'm all for democracy - because I'm all for the demos over individuals.
EDIT: Right wing? Naaah. I'm more on an "up/down" than "left-right" spectrum...
