Representative government can pass laws to control behavior. Sometimes it passes laws we like sometimes it passes laws we don't like. I don't like speed limits below 75 so what? Unless I or you can convince the voters to stop electing people to pass laws we don't like they will continue to be passed. That is the logic of representative government.

That is the logic of representative government.I don't disagree with that statement BTW. That's a good point. But do you agree with most of us that our nation is a Republic? A Democracy is 11 hyenas and a lamb arguing about what's for dinner.
