I favor a fascist dictatorship, with me as the Maximum Leader.

democracy, unlike the US

 

"There is a story, often told, that upon exiting the Constitutional Convention Benjamin Franklin was approached by a group of citizens asking what sort of government the delegates had created. His answer was: 'A republic, if you can keep it.'"

franklin has some great quotes...

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH RADIOFREECOSTARICA: democracy, unlike the US
SAD, VERY SAD!

 

No one except the early Greeks have had a true democracy...

The USA's 'Electoral College' is not democratic.

FatFrank: You're right, but then again, that is how the US government wants us to see it: as a perfec democracy, don't you think? Just my very personal point of view.

 

>don't you think?

Many in gov't do...

Yes ! MANY !

 

[Jazz]

I see I misled some people here. I was not asking for a debate, nor saying you had to choose between my choices, I was only asking for the name of the system you favor: democracy, republic, socialist monarcy, communist dictatorship, WHATEVER - that's all. I thought it would help inform me and you as to what background we're coming from.

 

[DirkDigAlert]

Democracy, with out a doubt.

But is there such thing as a "perfect" democracy?

 

[delrio]

Sorry Jazz, u're right. Straight to the point, democracy it is.

 

[PatPatriot]

A pure democracy = mob rule,
Thats why we are a constitutional republic.
