Let me guess your into dramatic arts? Technically it is not a democracy, in that the majority opinion is not always followed. For example, most Americans want the Iraq war to end, but that is not going to happen.
And the people don't make the laws, the government does. And the laws of your country are not always dictated by the popular opinion.

you are blowing hot air and sot supporting your claim. plus you dont even know wtf a democracy is or how it works. government is necessary to represent the people.
no, i get what you're saying now starhawk. its actually america that is like unicron. when there's no fighting its in planet form(democracy), simply floating around and feeding on other worlds. yet when atacked it transforms into a giant (republic) and stomps/claws every planet in the same galaxy as the one which attacked it.

Alright, just for juxtaposition: The KKK is planning to march in my town soon. And there was a large campaign to stop them. I certainly don't like the KKK, and I'd be perfectly happy if their organization just ceased to exist, but while they do exist, I don't think their right to assemble should be taken away, something that's guaranteed by our Constitution.
