Since I really love democracy, I think I'll go out and find a mob, and do some looting and pillaging. Can't help myself, it's my mentality. Pray tell, if it was never intended to be a democracy, why have we been electing people for the last 230 plus years? Who creates the laws in this Republic For Which We Stand? Inquiring minds want to know. Don't tell the people they've been doing it all wrong all these years, they'll be REALLY disappointed. I guess this means you get to be charge and tell the rest of us what to think, right? Will (Glaring at you - put on your sunglasses - special prescription for myopia..)

It's on my Cam page and scroll down the page and you'll see "Types of Government". Click HERE <http://www.sunlitedreams.com/cam/webcam1.html> or http://www.sunlitedreams.com/cam/webcam1.html So why did we drift to Democracy? Lack of education? Lack of information?

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?
