Here's my politically motivated question of the night:

Do you think that our government is really a democratic one? I'm interested to hear what everyone has to say. I'll give my opinions in a minute.

LOL... try not living in a democratic one and then ask the question again. Like a communist country.

That's not what I meant. I mean, thinking of what a democracy really is, do you think we are one and if not, what are we?

No, we are not a democracy; we are a republic, because of the electoral college.

No we are not a democracy. We were never intended to be a democracy in the true sense of the word. The founding fathers did not intend for the people to have direct control over government and set up safeguards to ensure against it. Thats why we have three separate branches of government.
