The drama of democracy is the absence of its own limitations (Marco Emanuele)

The drama of democracy is the absence of its own limitations; too often, instead of working for an ethically oriented democracy (in which everyone alive the general interest in each particular interest) we find ourselves "prisoners" of a democracy that makes ethics an instrument of limitation of freedom as liberation.

In this perspective, we live a totalitarian democracy, where the values are made "absolute" and non-incarnate in vital processes and where the "power" feels "called" to judge the personal choices, even the most intimate.

Faced with the "sensitive issues", we need an ethics of responsibility; about love, in particular, the problem is how to legislate to guarantee fundamental rights to all. Happiness, love lived, belong to the sphere of self-determination and self-realization of each person and anyone, much less who embodies the institutions, may think to have the Truth.
