"Da Kine" wrote in message ups.com... I'm with you. I pay a lot of money for charts and I have already paid the taxes to have them made. Our government has long thought that we are subjects when in fact, they government is subject to us. Too bad more people don't know that they own the country and we are a government OF the people FOR the people. Too bad people keep calling us a democracy when in fact we're a republic - and too bad they don't even know what a republic is! Da Kine, What's the difference between a republic and a democracy? |

The simple difference is democracy is a system of government by the
whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives and a republic is a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch. There are so many definitions in there though that most people won't see what that really says. You need to at least know that I monarch is a sovereign head of state and sovereign is a supreme ruler. It would help to understand that in a republic the supreme power is held in a creator (God) and that leaves all levels of government i.e., the ones in power and the ones that elect, equal. It leave my rights to me with me and not the supreme ruler! The real difference is, then, is that a republic is a small centralized government with more power in the local area and a belief in self ownership and a democracy is a large central government with little power in the local area and does not support self ownership. If you read the Declaration of Independence and then read The United States Constitution, (in that order) you will quickly see what the framers were thinking and then tried to do. They were sick of a monarchy so much so that they made titles of nobility illegal in the states. Esquire is a title of nobility and used by most attorneys and most politicians that clime high are attorneys so you can see where this country went wrong! Nowhere in our constitution or any attacked documentation has our country ever been called a democracy but those in power have been trying to make it one for a long time. Our "Pledge of Allegiance" does it state to the democracy. You will find it saying to the republic! You will find a few people here and there that understand the meaning and importance of words on paper and these days, we're looked upon like rebel outcasts with some sort of social disorder. The truth of the mater is that the vast majority of our population knows nothing and could care less so long as they have a wide screen TV and a fancy car. The sad part is they don't even think they own themselves. Self-ownership is a concept that is never talked about because with it comes responsibility. Self-ownership is the key to freedom and the lack of it is the key to Hitlerism. If you are interested, look up the difference between Citizen and citizen and then read your banking agreement. Ask yourself what a car registration is, where the drivers license came from and if you really own your car. Find out what a marriage license is and if you really need one to be legally married. Find out the difference between signing an agreement with your bride in front of a minister of a church that is NOT a corporation and signing a marriage license with the state. Its all about who owns you and what someone else has the right to do to you, your land and your belongings. Don't get me wrong. I don't believe in republicans much more then I do democrats. Those titles are a smoke screen over the freedom concept of elected official. The bottom line is always gong to be power for all of them and less self ownership. |

I re read this and should have spell checked it in something. Clime
should have been climb and attacked should read attached. There are probably a few more but oh well - you get the idea. Somebody tell google to put a spell checker on their beta site so I don't type so many mistakes:-) I guess you can tell what time of day I type something by the number of misspells there are! |

For those of us without clairvoyance, would you please quote at least _some_ of the content you are replying to so that we may follow the discussion more easily? -- Good luck and good sailing. s/v Kerry Deare of Barnegat http://kerrydeare.comcast.net |
