OK, Waffler, I'll bite. Your incorrect assertion has been addressed by the words of Adams, Franklin, Madison -- even Washington -- and you have blithely ignored them all. Here is what Jefferson said:
"The way to have good and safe government is not to trust it all to one, but to divide it among the many, distributing to everyone exactly the functions in which he is competent ...
- To let the National Government be entrusted with the defense of the nation, and its foreign and federal relations ...
- The State Governments with the Civil Rights, Laws, Police and administration of what concerns the State generally.
- The Counties with the local concerns, and each ward direct the interests within itself.
It is by dividing and subdividing these Republics from the great national one down through all its subordinations until it ends in the administration of everyman's farm by himself, by placing under everyone what his own eye may superintend, that all will be done for the best." So-called Democracy does not divide and subdivide but rather centralizes to 'one' and imposes its will upon all -- otherwise known as the 'tyranny of the majority.' Now cut it out! This is not the America we have fought and died for.
