On democracy and right choices

You know what? Athens, the capital city of Greece, was founded a long time ago (but not in a galaxy far far away) after the gathering of 10 tribes whitin the Attica region. Once they had their city, learned that they needed two things: a name for the city, and a God to be adored. And then, Posidon and Athena presented their applications.

Posidon stroke the earth with his Trident, and then created two different elements: an animal, the horse, and also a salt water source.

Athena touched the earth, and then she created the Olive.

After that, citizens voted. Men gave their votes to Posidon, and women voted for Athena. The result was the victory of the Goddess of wisdom and war, just for one single vote.

Posidon (the real badass of the Olimpics, the one who Greeks fear most, because his terrible wraith provoked earthquakes, and storms) angry with Atticans, flooded the entire region, and in order to calm him, citizens of Athens made two decisions. One was to built an incredible temple to Posidon Erecton (the ruins of The Erecteion are today a tourist attraction) and the other was to forbid female vote forever. From that day, just men of more than 20 years, and sons of father and mother borned in Athens, had the right to vote and make decisions in the Assembly.

In the words of Nobel prize awarded Henry Kissinger: "yeah, democracy is a good thing... But you don't make any mistake when you put your vote in the poll, because then we might well found that you chose the bad guy... And then we must go to fixed your mess".

The famous Athenian democracy, founded in the forbidden of female women.

Funny story, isn't it?
