Discussion of Democracy vs. Republic - absolutely spot on, Professor.

The fundamental difference between Democracy and Replucic are on full view in the issue of 'gerrymandering'.

The demoncraps are expert at fully exploiting this difference.

The 'founding fathers' were wise in their evaluation of the differences, and were correct that a Republic is preferable in establishing just and moral government long term than democracy, which they decried as being extremely dangerous, ultimately resulting in mob rule.

Fact: With a democracy, 51% of the people can beggar the other 49% of the population. With a 'majority', one can secure almost 100% of the representation, leaving the other 49% with NO representation, NO voice whatsoever in the governing of ALL.

The majority can ALWAYS screw the minority in a 'democracy', and can (and does) effectively silence any opposition, when that majority has no moral center.

In Cali-fornication, the 40% minority (republicans) have had their voice reduced to 17% representation already, with the demoncraps poised to reduce it to a paltry 7% with their current 'redistricing'.

Majority rule, Democracy.

Is it moral ?

ABSOLUTELY NOT.

Sir Wizard, your post was EXCELLENT.
