Thank you for explaining, and I agree.

For general reference, here are some books I’ve enjoyed that touch upon improving democracy:

• Getting Free: Creating An Association Of Democratic Autonomous Neighborhoods (James Herod)
• Turning To One Another: Simple Conversations To Restore Hope To The Future (Margaret J. Wheatley)
• The Great Turning: From Empire To Earth Community (David C. Korten)
• Beyond Outrage: What Has Gone Wrong With Our Economy And Our Democracy, And How To Fix It (Robert B. Reich)

Do you mean representative democracies? Or all democracies? If all then why, and what do you believe would be better?

You can use userChrome.css to change the border color of the active tab. Here’s what I use (credit)

.tab-background[selected] {
  border: 1px solid !important;
  border-color: lightgray !important;
}

I can only add my own personal experience - generally I can only stomach water in small amounts. It just doesn’t go down as smoothly as other drinks (juice for me). It feels like my mouth/throat rejects it a tiny bit.

(for reference, I drink some filtered tap water after every cup of juice)
