Sorry to interrupt, but the English Nazi in me demands that I correct those of you who believe that the USA is a democracy. It is not...yet.

The United States as established is a federal republic...the rule of law, not a democracy which is the rule by a majority.

Here is a nice video to explain the difference.

Thank you and goodnight.
