Why was Plato skeptical about democracy

Why was Plato skeptical about democracy?
1. Why was Plato skeptical about democracy? He believed uneducated masses could not make good decisions. He thought all citizens in a country would have to vote. Democracy had never been shown to work in Greece. Dictatorships offered more stability and order than democracies. 2.What two civilizations did Alexander the Great conquer as he built his empire? Rome and India Greece and China Egypt and Persia Persia and China 3.Which explains why Hellenistic culture spread so widely in the centuries following Alexander's death? Other civilizations in the ancient world were quickly declining. Alexander had decreed that Greek culture was to replace all other cultures. Greek philosophers and artists made it their mission to spread their culture. Rome adopted many Greek cultural elements, which spread during its conquests.

How about Bali Island. You can just drop by after your visits in Thailand then relax the rest of your travel vacation in the sweet place of bali. Surfing and diving is the very popular in this tropic island. Try this website: http://www.balivillaholidays.com/

As for 'cheap' and 'culture' i can offer you my country - Bulgaria. You said that you've been in Greece so you know where is it on the map. The price are low because we are not so rich european country and the standard is suit for foreigner. Bulgaria have great mountains in the south-west ( "Vitosha" mountain is near our capital 'Sofia'), amazing beaches all over from north to south borders in the east part of the country. We got great antiect culture - oldest gold in the world is in Varna, medieval stronghold in Veliko Tyrnovo is palce to be and many more culture artifacts in almost every city. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLZm3fooPLU&feature=related

a 110V and 50/60Hz straightener that is not dual only needs and adapter to work in Italy and greece, right

a 110V and 50/60Hz straightener that is not dual only needs and adapter to work in Italy and greece, right?
i'm going for fifteen days to italy and greeece. i have moderately short hair.. it is very unruly so a straightener is a must.. my straightener is a small travel size and on the tag says 110-240V and 50/60Hz however it does not have a switch to change it nor is it dual.. i have plug adapter for those two countries.. is that all i need i'm terrified that even with the adapter i'll blow out the hotel electricity or fry my straightener.. Does any with experience know? if so any tips to make it go smoother?

it his not gona work because in italy we have 220v so you do not need a plug adupter, but a things, i do not know the name in english that change the voltage 220 in 110, plus your adupter for the plug.
2 :
Yes, you can use it with just a plug adapter: 110-240 V means your straightener can work with both voltage, and 50/60 Hz with any frequency (hertz) Between 50 and 60 (in Italy, 220 - 240V, 60 Hz) On modern devices, switch are not anymore needed, setting is automatic. You're quite lucky, most hair straighteners sold in North America only supports 110V.
