Anyone that still believes, after 2500 years of documented history, that 'one man, one vote' works in any capacity earned this outcome.
There must be duties & responsibilities attached to a 'right,' such as voting; society always implodes when there are not. What people think are rights today are not: Rights are never granted; Rights are maintained via responsible behavior by individuals; Rights are enumerated by the U.S. Constitution not granted; Rights of the individual were to be ensured by the State and any act against doing so requires removal from office--by force if necessary.
What we believe are rights today are something given with no effort upon the individual--that's how you manipulate the power to remove rights. Rights are privileges maintained by duties & responsibilities but can only be lost due to violation of those duties & responsibilities.
The way to stop what is taking place in South Africa is an understanding that all power, even the power granted by voting, must have personal consequences, and it will not be long to see that unfold... again.
