    Well considering that Democracy doesn't exist and even if it did it wouldn't be a Democracy... No one does.

    Freedom=Tyranny simple as that Democracy has just been defeated folks. You know what Communist countries call theirselves? Democratic countries!

    Democracy is a sham. It's the absolute worst form of government. America is SUPPOSED to be a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC.

    My belief of what? That Democracy is a sham, or that America is a Constitutional Republic?

    In a CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC, 99% of the population can't take away the rights of the 1% minority.

    Democracy is latin for MOB RULE, and that's just what Democracy is. It's one of the worst forms of government ever devised.

    cultural creative..please come up with a couple more indepth less open ended questions pertaining to what pressedrat said about a Constitutional Republic. Im sure he or I would be willing to elaborate a bit more. What do you believe the form of government in which you live in is?

    In the US we live in what was originally constructed as a democratic republic. What it is today is up to interpretation.

    What it is today is what it has always been - a country ruled by the representatives. The representatives make all of the decisions. It doesn't make me free to vote for who will dominate me. Direct democracy is the only variant worthy of being called democracy.

    any form of government, as long as humans are running it, and as long we give so much heed twords the allmighty dollar, then the democracy of america is bastardized as well as the communists of the ussr bastardized true communism.

    in my honnest opinion, i feel the need to abolish all forms of a national government, break it off into sovrent states. then the states decide how to run their own government. and everyone has a say. wait....mabey that wouldnt be the best idea, that i think about it, i can just see it now, the innercitties overrun with drugs and weapons. my god, we would kill ourselves. ok scratch that, as i said first, all forms of government will be basterdized.

    just take all us freaks all over the world, and start our own state. right herhe

    It seems Austin Power's words to Felicity Shagwell were prophetic, when he told her that, in the future, the world is run by “damn dirty apes!” :jester:
