Democracy as we know it IS "a government that is run by each and every persons own vote". The problem with Democracy is that it is tyranny of the majority over the minority. The U.S. Government was set up as a Constitutional Republic, NOT a Democracy, so that even the minority has a voice, and so the Majority doesn't rule over the Minority. - Pat Riot
