Ok, so it's not Linux related, but what a great discussion! Kudos to Paul for pointing out that our form of government is not a democracy, it is in fact a republic. However, that being said, we do have many democratic process' and institutions, the New England town meeting is a perfect example of that.

I'm also intrigued by this statement. Are you alluding to a cause and effect relationship, i.e. something Bush did that triggered the event? Or are you talking about the policy and actions after 9/11?

And that's what makes this country interesting, the ability to vote your
choice.

Do you somehow believe that George Bush *caused* 9/11 or that a
Democratic president would have handled the situation better?

I personally can't understand why any able-bodied person would vote
Democrat...
