With Democracy For All and Freedom for None

#2  We have had a republic.

Egypt is heading toward a true democracy, where the majority of uneducated, unemployable, sheep ... herders will decide who rules, and how.

The Athenians had a democracy, until it devolved into mob rule - see V. D. Hanson. That's why our Founding Fathers gave us a Republic - for as long as we could keep it.

#1  When demographics become valid predictors of political outcomes, then democracy becomes theocracy and ethnocracy.s

Now where could I have read that before....?
