Terry, that wasn't the only glaring error by Will... Our country was not founded as a Democracy. It was not intended to be a Democracy, either. It was founded as a Republic. (Recite the pledge of allegiance here... ) A Republic is governed by the rule of law to LIMIT the Majority and protect individual rights. A Democracy rules by the majority, or mob mentality. HUGE difference. One that most Americans don't understand. Look at the link below for an excellent article as to the difference... http://www.lexrex.com/enlightened/AmericanIdeal/aspects/demrep.html It's almost election day and all my feathers are ruffled. It's an annual tradition... I'll return to normal, whatever that is, in a day or two... Regards, Rob McCall Murrieta, CA >> For those who have forgotten, we still live in a democracy. So the majority gets to choose where the lines get drawn, and can change the lines if they don’t like it. Which means, Dean, that you can change where the lines are drawn if you can find enough like minded individuals. That’s your right as a citizen, same as mine. And the majority wins. Is that tyranny?
