Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Yeah no....as much as our current system sucks, I'd rather have some sort of a buffer before full on mob rule.
People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals...and you know it.
Full on direct democracy sounds like a good idea. Until you realize it's two wolves and a sheep making dinner plans.
I fail to see how that’s different than the way it currently works, except you get the tyranny of the far right minority instead of tyranny of the majority.
Or another way to look at it, with your analogy, instead of two wolves, you have one professional career wolf who is far more effective at his job.
Nah it's more like the wolves lawyers and the sheep's lawyers fight it out. Like a proxy war.
