Definition of Democracy

[DanaC]

DanaC, that you're incredulous shows just how different our two respective paradigms of the proper sphere of a government are. Your people would be in a much more stable position for retaining British-style limited government -- a going concern since the Magna Carta -- without your draconian gun laws.

Yes, our two paradigms are different. In what way are my people not in a stable position for retaining British-style limited government?

I do, having studied places -- a few close up -- with bad government in them. We do a lot better than that, so much so it isn't even a contest.

So, my country has bad government?
