An extract of dialogue take from the movie "The Majestic". In times where the US authorities declared war to all «non patriots», it appeared clear what democracy is: a regime where only those who stand with the majority's and/or leading class' thought are accepted. The alternative is persecution. Here there are is the spirit of the so called democracy explained in a lucid and brutal way:
«It's their game. You play by their rules, or they'll destroy you».
«I thought this was a democracy».
«The Declaration of Independence? The Constitution? Just pieces of paper with signatures on them. And you know what a signed paper is? A contract. Something that can be renegotiated at any time».
