Response to "Beyonce goes to Washington -- on the train"

Ugh, this isn't news, this is the liberal media worshiping their friends the celebrities as they all go together to worship their new democrat hero (who, due to his position in politics, must certainly be a celebrity himself...who else would be able to tolerate being the president of a nation as huge and screwed up as ours?). Sadly, this is not a democracy in which we live. It's a republican monarchy (not republican as in Republican, republican as in republic.) It kind of feels like a democracy because we are given the ability (sort of) to choose between two monarchs every 4 or 8 years. A real democracy would have no president. Every person would vote on each issue as they saw fit. That which has the most votes would win. With the internet we now have the means to do this. The only organization required would be for recieving requests for things to vote on, notifying the public about them, keeping track of the law as it is voted on, and enforcing it. So that's a real democracy. If it doesn't seem like a good idea, well then by golly, I guess democracy isn't a good idea (*gasp*)
Now, keep in mind that the freedoms I have which allowed me to say that just now are actually completely separate from the concept of democracy per se. Our founding fathers could have easily said, "we'll let y'all vote but won't give you any rights aside from that," or, "we appoint a king but the irrevocable law of the land stands that people are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights."
