Gonna call you on it too..

Never was intended to be and never HAS been a democracy. The word is used exactly 0 times in the founding documents.

Strike that nasty word from your vocabulary unless you are, as Jefferson did, using in a sentence that issues a warning about the dangers of a democracy.

Think this...

What good is a democracy when there are 51 foxes and 49 hens?

What good is a democracy when there are 50.001% takers and 49.999% producers?

No damn good at all.

Democracies ALWAYS end in mob rule and chaos. 100% of the time. They are evil because PEOPLE are evil. That is the genius of the Constitution. It pits the three branches of government into an arena of necessary mutual survival. Stick to the Constitution and we would be fine. But we are NOT sticking to it bu rather have been drifting towards democracy for the last century or so.

Gonna end much like what you saw today only on a much larger scale of mob rule. We get a civil war as a result of the 'beauty' of democracy.
