I keep thinking of that. Isn't it said that a democracy is two wolves and a sheep deciding what's for dinner? As Americans we are proud of our Republic, which includes a series of separate democracies, such as the different chambers of the Senate and House, special committees and the like. They all take democratic votes to determine their intent. They are democracies. But a raw democracy is the easiest type of government to corrupt, as it only requires 51% of one vote to tyrannize the remaining 49%. And there will probably be red flood lights involved there somewhere.
