Dan,

>>in a true democracy, we would be sitting at our computers voting on every issue. The majority would always win.<<

I agree.

>>There would still be slavery, women would not vote, the sick in poverty, no civil rights action, no real government -we would all carry guns.... maybe you're on to something!<<

I'll have to disagree. I think the path to justice and fairness might be different, but we would get there. However, I also think that some of the things that are politically fashionable today might not be in the future. They will be reversed. That's why I value personal liberty. I totally disapprove of some of the things people do. Then again, sometimes I'm wrong too. :-)
