"You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. Really? Democracies can die" By Joan Chittister OSB, National Catholic Reporter

..."It's bias for equality and respect for the concerns of the other that makes a democracy work. Without them, there is no such thing as democracy. It is a fact, for instance, that the House has impeached the president. It is not true that every senator intends to participate in the process objectively if partisanship has already sealed the process. 
From where I stand, it seems that we must become awake to the fact that democracies can die, have died, are dying and that we are not immune from that political plague ourselves. That's the miserable truth of this time. Take it seriously. "
