Two More Reasons We Are a REPUBLIC, Not A Democracy
"Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths." --James Madison, Federalist No. 10

Again, I also highly recommend Bastiat's "The Law".

Yikes, 'cause in a democracy you and I would be forced to particpate in illegal schemes like, oh, Social Security. Wait a minute...
OK, then... in a democracy we'd be forced to support things we hate and are morally opposed to, like..wait another minute...
Hhmmm... we are forced to contribute to these things.
Oh, oh.
Read Bastiat. He puts it much better than I do.
