Not a Democracy but a Republic

RECEIVED Tue., Nov. 7, 2006

Dear Editor,
    Just wanted to remind everyone that we don't actually live in a democracy; it's a representative republic. There is a tremendous difference. So when you read/hear things like "spreading democracy,” "fighting for democracy,” etc., feel free to correct that publication/person.
