  1. Cannot find the reply option, so I have to respond to some this way:
    To NewtRallyt – A plus. Hoping you’re right but not betting on it.
    To Editor – but lacking in democracy ( whatever the meaning of the term ) is.

  2. Judging by the staff he assembled,
    the countries with excess of oil and mineral resources and therefore lacking in democracy …
