A Greek invention, democracy is highly overrated. For starters, it never worked in Greece. The first philosophers were fascists and, even today, 2,500 years later, the "cradle of Western civilization" remains an incompetent state.

The British call June a "gentleman," no surprise. The Americans have no gentlemen, so they translate June as "the superior man." The Germans have no gentlemen either, and "superior man" is reserved, so they call June an "elder" meaning a person of noble blood. To sum up, all Europeans call June anything but June, which is quite a scandal.

Western education remains a fetish of the colonial past.
