>> Tell me a country without a democracy that is better. Yet, you seem to have no problem at all with our president moving AGAINST democratic principles to get what he wants. How do you square your claimed support for democracy with your overt support an imperial president?

You just changed the terms. >>"Tell me a country without a democracy that is better. And if you cannot, then you need to realize that in a democracy the human condition prevails." Part 1: I have never contended or suggested that there is an existing country that doesn't operate democratically is better than the government of the USA and I don't know of one. It is a pointless remark, repeating it is childish. Part 2: You have not presented a foundation for proclaiming anything about the Human Condition. I could but I doubt you are up to it and I'm tired of doing all the substantive work in discussions with you. So until you provide some foundation for that proclamation, it remains meaningless. There are plenty of examples of democracies where brutal tyranny has prevailed.
