What does Adam's philosophy regarding the dangers of a democracy vs. a republic have to do with matters of conscience in determining whether to take actions that may violate the law?

By the way, it seems that entering into a discussion of issues with you results in a never-ending series of new subjects. Do you keep going until you ultimately find an issue that you feel confident of winning?

Because if that's your modus operandi then you've given up on prevailing on the issue of whether "winning" in Iraq will make us safer, and you've given up on the issue of whether it was better for America to have the alleged classified study leaked. By the way, while not particularly scholarly or forthright on your part, your surrender is certainly sensible in light of the fact that your initial position on those issues was poorly considered and extremely difficult to defend.

Will you give up on the question of whether Adams was addressing individual choices or alternate forms of governance next? Ed
