Democracy at Risk





Today, I heard a story from a very high-ranking official in the Maine state government who I know to always tell the truth. Apparently, a person was asked to fire one of their direct reports for no reason other than someone higher than them wanted it so. The person refused to fire the person in question. The next day the person who refused was fired.





Would it surprise you to know that no democracy has survived long and that the demise of these nations happened when the people refused to do what they knew was right?
