(Please read this first: Ms. Piggy Bless America!!! Thanks!)
A few days after I launch this blog, I receive comments and opinions from some of my readers and friends. Most of comments are saying - ‘cool,’ ‘good job,’ ‘proud of,’ etc and a few readers say that they disagree with me. I reply them that I AGREE WITH YOUR DISAGREEMENT. It is a VALUE OF DEMOCRACY. Like I describe, respecting difference is one of the greatnesses in democracy.
I resettle in the United States in October 2004, which was the highest competitive degree of presidential campaign between George Bush and John Kerry, Republican and Democratic. They competed, they debated, they fought because it was not only for them, but also for the goodness of the country. Most of debates were based on whose administration plan would make progress, be the most appropriate for the country and the people. And yet, they respect each other. I feel its greatness. I see its quality of being good. I also think it is an appropriate way to practice for our human beings.
Everybody has right to agree or disagree, like or dislike, support or oppose on something or someone in a democratic society. We, with the dignity of human beings, suppose to respect on those all of agreements, disagreements and neutrals. Opposites may sink us but at the same time, they may make us to improve, to be better and to be fully-grown and develop. We suppose to take the lessons from both of ‘win and lose.’ If we really can do this, eventually it will make us to be perfect.
When you do not allow opposing you, something is wrong with you and your system. Moreover, those disallowances (of opposites) will lead to destroy your system. Let us ask a simple question by ourselves ‘Do we agree with everything by ourselves?’ Absolutely, No. Sometimes, we may disagree in the evening, with our idea that we had in the morning.
Since every coin has two sides, of cause, democracy also has its downsides. Nevertheless, in my opinion, to be a people in a democratic country are much better and more humanity than to be a people under a dictatorship because we can choose our government by ourselves. Under the dictatorships, not only you have to do, according to the law, which authorities creates without desire of the people, or to what someone in authority says, but also you LOSE your DIGNITY OF HUMAN BEING. Nobody can measure how much of quality and quantity of a human being has. Can we limit the quality of a human being? Not at all. But it is possible only in democratic society. In a society of dictatorship, the authorities can limit a quality of human being, progress of personality or whatever it is. Everybody has to do what the authorities want to do.
We all are humans. We should respect each other. Nobody can be right all the time and nobody can always be wrong, and vice versa. As a government, we need to respect the peoples’ real desire. When the authorities follow the power, they ignore on what are really happening on the ground. It will lead to destroy that society. The society will be shrinking and shrinking in moral, credibility and ethic.

Sometimes, some democratically elected presidents and prime ministers make mistakes and they become sort of dictators. Then people will say that ‘democracy’ means the administration system that has freedom to vote a dictator.’ It might be right for some parts but what we have to realize is, at least, we still have
(a) right to vote an appropriate dictator
(b) right to criticize that dictator
(c) right to have opposite/opposites, and
(d) time limit to rule.
Let us respect differences. Let us listen to dissidents. More importantly, LET US LISTEN TO THE REAL VOICE OF PEOPLE.
