intellectual is a bad ford for the context.
informed would be a better word.
being able to read helps, but isn't absolutely necessary.

America wasn't intended to be a Democracy, it was intended to be a Representative Republic! Just sayin'

I don't understand why we have to wait so long for things to happen/change in today's world.

Democracy is a flawed system and people need to stop pushing for democracy in the U.S. and for the U.S. spreading democracy, it is a real problem in this country, the schools try to teach that we are a democracy and that democracy is great- we need to start following the constitution.

Democracy is a system where the opinion of two idiots is more valued than the opinion of one genius.
I don't believe democracy exists anywhere in the world.
