Democracy <-?-> Republic
Following up on my "GWB" post the other day as well as its germane comments, take a look at "Protection from the tyranny of democracy and republicanism," written the same day as mine, amazingly (must've been something in the air that day, eh?) (grateful h/t CRR* Tatyana). That blog is a terrific addition to my must-reads, for one thing, and, for another, the article makes good points about democracies and republics (both upper- and lower-case) and, in particular, about the American constitution.

Thank you, Barb, but it was Neo who's pointed out, nit me (I can only wish I could think with such clarity and express myself so beautifully in English as her).
Full democracy, in my view, is something as it is understood in Middle East countries - stoning to death by a crowd would be a good example. This mentality, in watered down but no less potent state in its consequences, what made me want to emigrate from SSSR.

Link is fixed. Sorry about that!
Ligneus - I hope you'll persist. Your getting out of depth is unlikely and bound to be interesting in any case.
