What pang knife into me is this "Silence is the greatest ornament of the woman". This is happening.

Wow that is such a flawed system of polling.

Instead of having the people all raise their hands (which makes it impossible to count), why not have the people who vote "for" and those who vote "against" stand on opposite sides. With those "for" raising their hands.

A simple system like this would avoid all confusions, and make it impossible for the counter to cheat.

atheian democracy is a nightmare.

i hear alot of people keep saying that athens don't have democracy but they do it's just only for men not for woman.

sorry folks democracy is not for everyone

@americanliberal09 Seen as though your an American Liberal, i'm sure you could tell me then, the year women gained the right to vote in the United States?

[LaserBeam002]

@Stalinsurfstheweb 1920 I think. Way too late for a country that calls itself a democracy.
