Rick wrote in message My question wasn't facetious. It really is surprising how many people do not realize the US is not a democracy. Never was. Wasn't even intended to be one. .... just maybe it's because you seem to want to ram democracy down everyone's throat . Tell me... do you consider Canada a democracy? CM |
CM,
Our "Pledge's" 2nd sentence tell what kind of a government we have It Is a REPUBLIC. It is a Democratic Republic and has been a pretty successful Republic of the people for a very long time. In our time there has been a change taking place. It was never meant to be the private life time career for politicians. Career Politician have gain enough control to become Rulers rather than Representatives. As long as they can vote themselves wage increases, it becomes a damn good job. Jefferson envisioned a government modeled after the Greeks (Spartan) to be exact, which elected representatives had to take turns serving, if elected. They then returned to their private lives after serving. Geo Washington did set an example when he voluntarily stepped down after serving. This did, kind of, set the tone for sometime. Time for me to get off the soap box. Think about when and why Colleges started teaching Political Science as a Degree. Ole Thom |

John Wayne America's poor = mostly obese = too much food America's poor = sedentary = own too many televisions America's poor = own too many cars America's poor are the richest poor in the world. "I cried because I had no shoes, then I saw a man with no feet" Tax the poor! Let them pay for their share of their burden on the rest of us! BC "Jonathan Ganz" wrote in message ...
