I am not sure. On the one hand I can see how important it is to fight dictatorship. On the other hand, why would that freedom have to be economized and not be appreciated as our second or first nature? How can I be sure that my investment is not used to support only the freedom of my political enemy? What just happened in the US and EU, that news networks started endorsing political correctness and presidential candidates, in their own interest: would that be where my bonds were put? That is no truth-loving press, throwing out independent confirmation, but that is groupsism on a grand scale, much like a post market crash, pre WWII political climate.

Well i cant see democracy being any helpful these days. Worlds biggest democracy is also very big in corruption and with free speech dont know what all people are going bring which is in their mind. The question arise how do we trust the creditability of those speeches? And if people are under influence then what is going to happen, it would be another brain washed nation, doing stupid things ( if you know what i mean) !
