Talking is not the essence of democracy
Voting is. John McCain was criticizing Barack Obama for failing to say if he will participate in 10 town-hall meetings with him. McCain ended by saying "The American people deserve to hear us debate, that is the essence of democracy". But I hear people talking and even debating in places with no democracy, like Iran, Russia and even Iraq! Just being able to talk doesn't make up a democracy, voting is what makes up a democracy. But in a country where less than half the citizens vote, democracy says democracy isn't very important.
