Voting is probably the worst idea that has ever been implemented in western nations. They use media manipulation and deception to get you to vote for who they want you to. If the public goes along with it, great. If not, they will simply ignore your vote. When California voters passed proposition 187, the government simply overturned it. Now that the Irish (one of the few nations that were allowed to vote on it) have rejected the Lisbon treaty they will make sure they don't allow them to vote on the next incarnation of it.
"Democracy" just creates a pretty face on a government that is otherwise exactly the same as any other. Elections are a charade. They offer you a "choice", but then correct you if you choose wrong. Or in the case of America, they offer you two pro-war anti-borders candidates and try to convince you there is a difference between them. The only purpose of holding elections is to maintain the appearance of legitimacy.
In America we won independence by shooting people in the face. That's pretty much what it comes down to. You have to be willing to kill the apparatus of the state. That is the only real form of "democracy".
