(…)
Die Ablehnung eines deutschen Films beim letzten Wettbewerb warf ein seltsames Licht auf das Demokratie-Verständnis der Veranstalter. Dem Filmemacher Tino Schwanemann von der Berliner Werbefilm-Firma Einscommanull wurde mitgeteilt, sein Film werfe einen zu strengen Blick auf die negativen Seiten der amerikanischen Demokratie und übersehe, dass die positiven Seiten überwiegen. Schwanemanns Beitrag ist ein professionell rotoskopierter Animationsfilm mit Cartoon-Charakter, der inzwischen eine ganze Reihe von Preisen, unter anderem bei einem Wettbewerb der zivilgesellschaftlichen Initiative der Aktion Mensch, Die Gesellschafter, gewonnen hat.

Then a land may be said to govern itself, and consequently to possess true liberty. But when representation is only partial, a land possesses liberty only partially, and if it is extremely partial it gives only a semblance of liberty. And if, not only extremely partial, but corruptly chosen and under corrupt influences after being chosen, it becomes a nuisance and produces the worst of all forms of governments: A government by and for corruption. A government carried on and supported by spreading venality through the land. And when democracy becomes corrupt the best gravitates to the bottom and the worst floats to the top. And the vile is replaced by the more vile.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('274447','True Grit'); return false;">Reply to this comment</a> --- <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('274447','True Grit','Democracy is...When the representation is fair and equal.
