Go to DU, then, that's a comfy home for the those thirsty for all the flava's.




You do understand that we live in a democracy, right? The whole idea behind a democracy is to get more people on your side and not to say, "go over to the other side because we disgree on a particular issue."

Again - it will sail right over their oh so pure heads. But it's nice of you to try :-)

Being a democracy has nothing to do with what you suggest it does. Did you happen to notice that in our democracy here in the US we have two parties, and those parties may change over time -- Tory versus, Whig-Federalist versus Democrat-Republican, Democrat versus Republican -- but each party encompasses a ceratin set of ethical and moral -- that is poliitical -- philosophies, not shared by the other?

When you want Flava-style ethiics and morality -- anything goes, I'm-okay-You're-okay, moral ambivalence and mushism, Kofi Annan-esque mosh-pit-ism -- go to DU.

Uhhhh actually, we live in a Republic.

We live in a constitutional republic. Repeat after me: REPUBLIC.

A democracy is a "tyranny of the majority". Better than a lot of styles of government...if the people don't vote for tyrants.
