I didnt read it all, but what I saw was very right. We are NOT absolutely NOT a democracy. We are a constitutionally limited democratic republic. BIG difference. Democracy is mob rule, and that rarely works out well.

The way we are set up is so that the people supposedly have the power, but there is a sort of governmental "filter" that keeps us from doing anything stupid. At the same time, the government is supposed to be directly responsible to the people, and we can overrule any decision they make. The problem is people dont know how to use the power we are given and it then turns to a system more heavily weighed on the governments side.

People should check out the Libertarian party's platform and see what they think.

Amazingly, the most perfect form of government is Communism .

However, all politics have become bastardized in some form or another... yes, including your own "democratic" government.

comunism only works when people are willing to be selfless... but as we all know, greed rules human nature.... interestingly enough the origional new testament church (post death/resurection of Jesus) was basically communistic....
