→"Not a democracy": Still unclear
:::I was referring to the fact that the U.S. is a [[Constitutional Republic]] - err, it was before the [[Seventeenth Amendment]] allowed Senators to be controlled by "mob rule," otherwise known as special interest groups rather than adhering to the rule of law. In a way, you are right, America is now a "democratic republic" of some sort. Does that help clarify what I meant? [[User:DerekE|DerekE]] 13:46, 31 August 2011 (EDT)

::::No, but it explains your motivation a bit. If you feel that American democracy is corrupt, would you like to write about this corruption? Watching "[[Mr. Smith Goes to Washington]] may provide additional inspiration, if not a few examples of the type. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 13:48, 31 August 2011 (EDT)
