After watching this TED talk, I really had a better appreciation for other cultures and their ways. I've never believed in the US trying to push democracy onto other countries that are trying to rebuild. Its a system but its not THE system. It was designed for a particular place and a particular time and I believe the same is true for many other parts of the world too. Many will claim that the Founding Fathers were inspired by God to draft this constitution and form this country and I do not dispute that. It was the only place at the time that could allow for religious freedom and that's what God needed to restore His church. That doesn't mean that its God's system or His way of doing things. It is A way. Its not like we're living by the Law of Consecration here anyways. I just think its interesting to see how other cultures seem to get along just fine with the systems they have in place. China is a very interesting case. Hope you enjoy
