"[D]emocracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." -James Madison, Federalist No. 10, 1787
Think of that when you hear one of our dumb-ass politicians yapping about "Our Democracy". The US was founded as a Constitutional Republic. There is a HUGE difference.
