The decision is ours to make! We, the people, shape the future of our country/world. We are the indicators for a concept known as Democracy. This topic explores the reasons behind our efforts to create a system that respects all individuals while being operated by the people.

Our Contributors and Guest Contributors have dedicated themselves to defining, proposing, and quantifying the vision set out by the initial drive to establish a democratic nation. I urge you to browse and focus on an article that resonates with you.

As usual, we give you gifted artists and, in this issue, soulful cuisine. Come on in!

Gate open!
