  • Uh oh, I'm on a theory roll today! As much as I agree with you Drew, there are two flaws in your theory -- Alie, 07:40:08 05/18/03 Sun
  • It doesnt matter whether other countires claim to be a democracy or not, I was disagreeing with the claim that it would be better to live under a monarchy then a democracy and I certainly stand by that. For all its flaws and weaknesses I still think a democracy is FAR better then a system of unelected leaders... -- Drew Greyfox, 13:14:15 05/18/03 Sun
