One thing's for sure, we are not a theocracy. Luckily, in 20 years, this equal rights thing won't be an issue. The people are speaking. Now, if "we the people" can get to working on, a person being able to smoke a little herb in the privacy of their own home, legally.




That's what I don't get about republicans. They don't want the government or anybody else to get in their business, yet they want to get in everybody else's business.

Look TRV, I'm not the smartest knife in the drawer, but I think I know the difference. When we, as citizens, vote on legislation in Washington we can call our form of government a democracy. As long as we elect representatives to represent us in Washington we will be a republic. Just because we have elected these morons does not mean they will vote the way the majority of their constituents want them to.

If a bill doing away with federal income tax were to come up for vote and your congressman knew 80% of his constituents wanted it passed, do you think he would go along? I think not. If a bill were introduced that decreased his pay by 75% and 100% of his constituents approved, would he oblige? I doubt it.

There is a huge difference between a democracy and a republic. Sometimes I wonder if we are getting represented at all. And we keep electing these scrotum sniffs for some reason.
