Listen to my podcast interview with Rashunda Tramble of the International Relations and Security Network on Democracy Kills: What’s So Good About Having the Vote as part as ISN’s special series on Democracy.

I asked Rashunda at the end whether she agreed with my argument. But I won’t repeat her answer without her permission.

Thank you. Rashunda said that the argument about the dangers of democracies sent a chill down her spine when she thought through her heart, but her head told her much of it might be right.
So the test. If there were only two places in the world to take your family and loved-ones to live and styart a future for your children, which would you choose, Cuba or Haiti?
