That's the problem with a "democracy." There are many countries that are "democracies" that are not "democracies," if you know what I mean. Mexico and Israel are just two.

And everyone here screams, but we are a democracy!!!! completely ignorant of the fact that the framers designed our system of government *specifically* to prevent the type of "mob-rule" that true democracies bring about.

Stated best, a democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting over what's for dinner.
