>> That is your opinion. I have a different opinion. So how do we reconcile the differences?

So, your opinion is that bureaucracy is good? What's up with that?

>> That is what you freedom lovers overlook.

So, you have something against freedom? If you don't mind me saying, that's fucking stupid. Even Barack Obama and Bernie Sanders don't oppose freedom. And I'm pretty sure if they did, and said it outloud, their careers would be over in this country.

American democracy was based on freedom. Democracy isn't worth a shit if if you don't have freedom.

If you want to comprehend why the United States was a special place as a result of its freedom I would recommend you check out Tocqueville's Democracy in America. I would argue it is more about freedom than Democracy. (I noticed you didn't list Tocqueville, or even Bob Dylan, in your genius list).
