I Love Democracy

Andorra MapMalta MapThere are two countries here. The first is Andorra. The significance of Andorra is that it is the 118th country in which I have vacationed. The second is Malta. The significance of Malta is that it is the 119th country in which I have vacationed. But I don’t consider that to be the most important thing about those countries. Far from it. I think the most important thing about Andorra and Malta is that they both have exactly the same number of votes in the United Nations as China, Russia, Britain, France, Germany, and the United States – one. How cool is that? To take the concept even further, there is a total of seventy-five countries that have populations of less than one million people, including children, that also have the same number of U.N. votes as China, Russia, Britain, France, Germany, and the United States – one. You’ve just gotta love democracy. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong I’m just saying it’s interesting.
