It doesn't thrive on merit and gives Joe Stupid a way to vent his moronic, unneeded opinions.

Democracy only works if its citizens are informed. In America, the citizens are not informed because the informers decide what they want them to hear. Anyway, I don't think we can really say that this republic practices Democracy. Bush is more like a dictator.
