2. Unfortunately, it seems to have degraded over the years to:

   A form of government where the people lay down a set of rules defining how they are willing to be governed and then electing leaders and representatives who play lip service to those rules, but in practice governing in the manner that best suits their own agendas.

3. Boy, we have sure come a long way from that.  Maybe that’s why our government leaders keep telling us were a Democracy because they set the rules and we have to abide by them.

4. Every so often, even here in California, the politicians get their bells rung.  Nationally, the last 2 Presidential elections come to mind and locally, even our ruling elite have been sometimes turned out of office or had their careers shortened by things like term limits.  Even the California Sheeple can’t be fooled all of the time.

5. What we have today is a federal government exercising more and more power over state governments and one political party browbeating the other.

   Americans, including me, need to get a better understanding of the Constitution before the Republic disappears and we become a Democracy where the majority has absolute authority.

   The demographics of the country is trending brown. In a few decades, those of us with white faces will be the minority. I’d be a lot less worried about my children’s future knowing America stayed the course the founding fathers laid out.

7. One way of looking at our system is that it protects the minority from the tyranny of the majority.  The problem is that so many aren’t content to let the system work.  So many are hijacking the system for their own ends and damn everyone else.

   I look back on the civil rights battles of the 50’s and 60’s and consider that those opposed to civil rights hid under the banner of States’ Rights and forever stained the cause of States’ Rights.  It’s a pity that a good cause became associated the the denial of basic human rights.  The next question is how can the concept be resurrected?
