 I will say this: as a point of useless history, the distinction between republic and democracy was not really made by anyone until our very own James Madison created the distinction. This probably caused much of the confusion today about what kind of government we have, because at the time of founding, everyone called it a democracy except for Madison. Today, most would properly call it a Republic. This has been a useless public service announcement. |

My wife thinks I'm an idiot. I'm eating a bowl of Wheaties when my wife enters the room. I throw a banana on the counter and ask her if she'd mind cutting it up for me. She has no sense of humor.
