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.

We are imperfect. We cannot expect perfect government.
~William Howard Taft

Under capitalism man exploits man; under socialism the reverse is true. ~Polish Proverb

And the most fitting one for this site today:

Democracy is a government where you can say what you think even if you don't think.
