Aristotle noted, "Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms." Republic good-Despotism bad. I'll buy that.

George Bernard Shaw observed, "Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few." Sad but increasingly true.
*
Lastly, classic definitions...and multiple choice.
*
1. A Democracy: Three wolves and a sheep voting on dinner.
*
2. A Republic: The flock gets to vote for which wolves vote on dinner.
*
3. A Constitutional Republic: Voting on dinner is expressly forbidden, and the sheep are armed.
*
4. Federal Government: The means by which the sheep will be fooled into voting for a Democracy.
