Dear MJ: Democracy isn't a "mob" unless people have gotten the mistaken notion that they can vote to have government be their provider. Since doing the latter isn't fair, such is OUTLAWED and thus could never be "voted in" without voting out the entire New Constitution. Once people experience the advantages of having flourishing capitalism, few will propose changing things. And if a representative proposes socialism or communism, that person will be hanged for treason post haste! — J. A. Armistead —
