This is my first posting to the list, but I have to say this:

I deny that the united states is or could ever be a democracy.  What
democracy implies is a system similar to that of Athens back in it's
heyday.  All free males were involved in the government.  All offices
were elected with a limit to term.  You cannot get that with the amount
of people living in the US today.  You cannot even get that with the
amount of people living in South Dakota today.

THE U.S. IS NOT A DEMOCRACY AND IF WE HAVE THE HIGH MORAL GROUND
ON ANYTHING, IT IS INCIDENTAL

We have a bureaucracy with one bureau under NO control from the
constitution.
