When democracy turns violent...

While we here in the US at times get passionate about our politics, if we stop and reflect about our system of democracy compared to what is happening in other places in the world right now like Pakistan and Kenya we are very lucky. Granted we don't want to become so secure in our democracy that we are unwilling to fight for it, but while we worry about hacking of electronic voting devices people are not being murdered to keep them from voting or because of who they voted for.
