Isn't the point of Democracy not to trust those in power?

People always claim that the Internet companies will not filter traffic in a way which screws people over. They are speculating about what corporations might do, and unless I am mistaken, the point of Democracy is to speculate on how power might be abused, and then prevent anyone with the power to do this from doing it. There are no good kings.

Our society has no youth anymore, people act immature due to video games and other media

I know that this is a very unoriginal argument on this topic, but it seems like the most honest one, and I satirized this topic at a friend's request. Video games are just a scapegoat for general youth behavior. Violence is a different matter, but other things we worry about kids for and medicate them for are just the fact that they're kids.

Let's not attack Iran

It seems like there is a faction of Americans calling for action against Iran. I certainly understand the risks to Israel, and I think no one wants Iran to get nukes, except perhaps, the Iranians, but let's give diplomatic measures a shot first.

As stated here, the fallout from our nuclear retaliation against Iran would effect Russia and most of Europe, and possibly China. They have a greater stake in this than we do. Let's give it a shot.
