In short order we got ballot initiatives, recall elections, referenda, direct election of Senators, a Bismarckian-style administrative state (allowing the great bulk of our legislation to be enacted secretly)… NOT power to the people, but power to the majority position. After all, through the half century of the Progressive Era, the progressive Anglo-Saxon-Protestant outlook numbered almost a super-majority of voters resulting in abominable acts against the rights of minority populations.
—Benjamin Franklin
The United States IS a democracy… a constitutional democracy, the most limited form of democracy possible. Why?

When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.
I do not say that democracy has been more pernicious on the whole, and in the long run, than monarchy or aristocracy. Democracy has never been and never can be so durable as aristocracy or monarchy; but while it lasts, it is more bloody than either.
When the Democratic Party came along in 1828, it was with the primary goals of, one, dispossessing Indian tribes in the South of their fertile lands and moving them west to the territories, and, two, protecting slavery. In order to dispossess categories of people of their property and rights, “majority-rules democracy” is called for, and the Democrats ramped that up on all fronts:

[with republicanism being the rights-protecting form of governance afforded us by our Constitution]
Another tendency, which is extremely natural to democratic nations and extremely dangerous, is that which leads them to despise and undervalue the rights of private persons.

When Democrats go on and on about “our democracy,” they are literally bragging about the tools they put in place to keep the rest of us in our place! Remember, our constitutional form of government was established to protect the rights and freedom of all, not to advance the goals of a voting majority.
The thinking of our founders:
The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.
Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun...
A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying.
One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever..
We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc
If u want pics of her text me.
We were founded as a constitutional democracy, with democratic methods limited to citizens voting for those citizens who serve in and vote on legislation in the House of Representatives.

Do "flat-earthers" attempt to sail around the world to prove their theory? Would this support their belief in a flat Earth?
