In my defense, let me say that I have _never_ used the word "democracy" to
describe TC deliberations.  In fact, I usually object to its use by TC
members.

I believe the only appearances of the "d" word in my messages have been in
quotations.  These were intended mainly to deflate the pretensions of those
who would defend the TC's actions by wrapping it in the flag of "democracy".

BTW, my source for these is Crown's Book of Political Quotations, by Michael
Jackman, published by Crown Publishers Inc. of New York.  It includes that
quote from Winston Churchill.

    "Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed
     no better than we deserve."   - George Bernard Shaw
