Subject: Re:if you have a majority of "stupid people" then they can rule the minority. In a Republic, all voices can be heard.

Artful Dodger: So can we over here. Our laws allow a civilian to put forward proposals and law changes through their MP or a campaign, etc.

"t least when the US does it, there is freedom in view. Take East Berlin for an example."

The cold war caused oppressive dictatorial governments to be set up/supported by both the free west and the communist east. Who's freedom? If a country is used in order to maintain one's borders it's not free. People flocked to the UK after WWII and still do, even though other Euro states will take them, the UK is the preferred destination.

"Stay out of their business except where it concerns our shared interests."

ChAoS theory applies to such a view.
