Percipere'Chan-

Thanks for responding!(your logic sucks)

Democracy can be defined simply by majority rule or a government by the people. Does that define OUR entire government system? No. That's the point I was trying to make and Pli did a pretty good job of explaining on the post above yours.

I'm a little confused about the point you're trying to make here. When you say something like "If we're going to criticize or applaude George W. Bush, I hope we're at least going to use a better understanding of democracy than this..." I'll have to assume you mean and understanding of OUR Government, not a democracy (as you've already been so kind as to point out that our government is not a democracy).

In the end I will agree with Pli's description of our Gov't system in his last post. Like I said this is an argument that could go on forever and is just "splitting hairs" as far as I'm concerned.

***on a completely unrelated note, Pli - you probably have the funniest avitar I have ever seen.
