There was a good one about two weeks ago that started out:
A Democracy is 5 wolves and 4 Lambs voting on what’s for dinner. A Democratic Republic is 5 Wolves and 4 Lamb’s voting on what’s for dinner with Lamb not being allowed to be on the menu, where the Supreme Court will eventually decide 5 Wolves to 4 Lamb’s that Mutton is not the same as Lamb....... I wish I could find it because it was a very good analogy for the difference between Democracy, Republic and Constitutional Republic.

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

Freedom is a well armed lamb contesting the vote.
