I've been trying to write a paper on what I believe the definition of democracy is for one of my classes. It's actually pretty difficult (for me anyway) to accept just one definition of the word.

What do you think a true democracy is?
and...
Do you think there as been a perfect example of a true democracy in action in the course of human history, i.e., the Greeks, the U.S etc.
Can or will a true democracy ever occur? Should it?

Just wondering what you all think...
