What are we these days? A lot of people say we are a democracy. I don't know if I like a democracy, based on my Poli Sci 201 class (have you heard the idea of the two wolves and one lamb voting on what they should eat for dinner?). Are we a republic? The rule of law? Everyone's rights must be respected, regardless of what the majority says? Are we a dictatorship? I don't think so.
Maybe we are what Edward Griffin said, a democratic dictatorship. We vote for who dictates what we should do.
What do y'all think?
"Democratic dictatorship" sounds pretty spot on. What scares me is that often my information is only as good as what my government allows me to know/learn. At least I'm thankful for the Spirit that can help correctly "dictate."
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to voting for a new president, I almost always feel like I'm obligated to vote for the "lesser of two evils." That never feels very good.
