roachboy, It's become quite obvious that you have no thoughts concerning the original post, and merely want to argue points that you yourself brought up that have no relevance to the original post whatsoever.
The original post followed the idea that people use the word democracy to describe the US, even tho it was founded as a republic, and that there are differences in a republic and a democracy.
As I said before, if you want to argue which is better, or argue the origins and basis of the word democracy and the codes that Plato ascribed to it, start a thread about that, don't hijack this one.
