Not at the moment, thanks but no thanks. I don’t see our civil rights in danger right now. True, democracy in itself isn’t a guarantee of individual freedoms – since the majority of people is absolutely stupid, this majority will have no difficulties in signing away their rights for some vague jet compelling promises uttered by demagogues. But in my immediate space-time neighbourhood, i don’t see any major risks. After securing my private independence, however, i shall surely seek public office to serve those like me.”
