It says that we're a wacko state, politically; that's what it says. … You can't characterize it any other way. In this democracy, there is too much democracy."

In this democracy, there is too much democracy.Yet another Demorat lets it slip out that the will of the people is the last thing a true Demorat believes in.

Slick Willy (he was called that long before Klinton came around) once said that politicians should be treated as philosopher-kings. :barf: Saw a bronze bust of him once and suggested to one fellow we stuff a pipe into its mouth, paint it with white-out and put a Mao hat on it. Voila! Instant Joseph Stalin. :D

I think the philosopher kings thing goes way back to Aristotle :)
It is possible for our democracy to have too much democracy. Democracy is not without its own evils and must bend the knee to individual rights and freedoms.
This is going to be an entertaining year to be in PRK - glad I'm leaving (4 more weeks).

Actually, he's sort of right, California and the U.S. are Republics, not "Democracies".
But even a busted clock is right twice a day... :rolleyes:
