STUBBORN OR JUST REFUSES TO LEARN

Now I know that with our system of government schools there is every excuse for people to be badly misinformed on critical issues. Let's face it ... these government schools have been more interested in feeding you dogma than the truth. Let's take the idea that our country is a democracy, for instance. I would guess that virtually every government school in this nation teaches its hostages (students) that the United States is a democracy. Now don't you find this just a bid odd, considering the fact that neither the Declaration of Independence, the U.S. Constitution or the constitutions of any of the 50 state even contain the word "democracy?" Isn't it odder still that the Constitution specifically says that our form of government is "Republican?"

This makes it all the stranger that we are trying impose democracy in Afghanistan, Iraq and the rest of the world. Democracy is simply majority rule - but what happens if you disagree with the majority? You're out of luck, that's what. Once voters realize their vote determines how much they receive from the pockets of others, the democracy is doomed.
