[Jack Black]

Democracy requires an educated, sober, visionary citizenry to succeed. When the polis in Rome had become full of people only wanting bread and circus's they went to the imperial system. While there were a lot of troubles with this system it did give Rome another few hundred years of greatness.

Perhaps it is time we consider making the transition ourselves. Any electorate dumb enough to vote for someone like edwards (and millions have) can't long run a great country.

We've already we're already well into our empire stage, it's only a matter of one dirty nuke in a major metropolis to put us under the yoke of a ceaser. Maybe Bush will be the first to be crowned. Maybe during Kerry's administration. Either way, it isn't "great" to lose the Republic.
