The Walking Dead has become good again.
Especially the last 3 episodes (of season 2).
At the very end of the season finale last night (and this isn't really a spoiler), Rick says to the group, "This isn't a democracy any more!"
I loved that line, because is it so true in many instances. You can either go forward with your own personal vision, and people can follow if they choose; or you can let the group shape the final outcome, and it may very well be something that does not please you.
I'm not talking about governments--I do favor democracy and representative republics.
I'm talking about the things we do in our lives that we personally take charge of. I take counsel, yes. But I've learned that letting things free-flow can be a huge mistake.
And no, cougarguard is not a democracy anymore. Send me a postcard.
