| Can elections be harmful to democracy? It has been said that young leaders are the foot soldiers of democracy, and the grassroots campaign that swelled up during Orange Revolution is proof that Ukraine is no exception. Still, five years later, the Orange Revolution’s promise of reform has yet to be fulfilled.

The issue was, when Rockefeller had this 90% control, virtually everyone relied on kerosene to fill their lamps and space heaters. Even though Rockefeller was able to bring the cost of kerosene down by over 80% he had a stranglehold on the lighting of American homes. There was way too much power in the hands of one man and this unregulated influence could negatively affect the majority of the nation’s population.More |
