re: #20 Alexzander

I agree and I dont think its entirely a bad thing. At least people are trying to have their say and actually get involved in the supposedly democratic process.

That is all fine and good until you end up with religious fanatics and people who value magical susperstitious thinking science who are taking over a major political party.

Your democracy is only as good as your polity…and that is why our Founding Fathers were so suspicious and afraid of pure democracy. The ghost of Oliver Cromwell was certainly hovering over the drafting of the Constitution.
