God, this makes me truly embarrassed to live here, let alone be a citizen. It reminds me of the TV coverage just after 9/11 when someone on CNN referred to the USA as "the most democratic country on the planet". What on earth do they think goes on in most countries?
That has got to be a threat. Most definitely. Even some of us Americans find it scary and embarrassing.
Oh, and Expatmum is right. I live is Switzerland. It's a direct democracy. Does it get any more democratic? isn't that more democratice than a representative system like the US? One would think.
