| Athena, my point is you fail constantly to ADDRESS the significant relevant point which makes, or I should say "made" American Representative Democracy unique. The checks and balances.
True democracy HAS NO CHECKS AND BALANCES, which is why I fault all of this "unspecified" praise of democracy.
True democracy is two wolf and a sheep deciding what is for dinner.
Who would like that, unless they were the wolves, and NOT the sheep?
In reality, we all play the role of sheep or wolf in politics, and the way politics affect our lives.
The beauty of Americas designed system of government, is that it empowered the sheep (the minority), as opposed to the wolves(the majority), and it had clearly defined lines on which NEITHER could tread upon, or over.
Those lines have been blurred, through political apathy and collective ignorance of politics.
