VK, sorry for the misunderstanding, yes, I was addressing that comment to the general readership of this thread. Seems that our elected officials have use the word Democracy so much that most think that is the form of government that we have. They need to know and understand the difference between a Representative Republic and a Democracy.

Hopefullly with this upcoming election we can move back to the form of government that our Constitution was written for. That states will start taking back their rights and that the Federal Government will be scaled way back and perform the functions that it is granted by the Constitution. Do I think this will happen. Not unless we get the general public educated and headed in the right direction.

It is going to be an interesting election year. One that will determine whether this country survives or is added to the heap of failed countries and governments.
