>>> *"Most people, including most Americans, would be surprised to learn that the word "democracy" does not appear in the Declaration of Independence (1776) or the Constitution of the United States of America (1789)."*

No, CATO Institute... I know I heard that... it rings in my ears

yeah, that does

I have read that before

I don't recall if CATO Institute is left or right. I'll have to check.

...about "Democracy" not being said

not your link, someone read it to me

The founding fathers of the USA absolutely did *NOT* want the USA to *EVER* become a democracy, because that is mob rule, which is *PRECISELY* what the founding fathers wanted to avoid.

understood (your last statement)

The part I like, "Instead of considering the Founders' documents with our present views, biases and prejudices, he focuses on their essential, original meaning."

Agreed

I am currently doing my own study... It's about the Boers and Afrikaners

People want to group them together

And people today are still angry because of past events

Like I said, I have never put eyes on that document prior to about 1 hour ago, and I quickly skimmed it for content. It does seem to be correct, and I haven't read a mistake yet.

Oh boy, the Boers...

Not today's Boers\

It's all about understanding the context of the past by actually walking around in that time zone

they have many commercials on TV here (or at least they did 4+ years ago) about De Beers diamonds...

I hated those commercials.

Owned by the Oppenheimers

+1

👍

De Beers was used because of the farmers name who owned the farm

yep

Isn't it interesting how always other names are used?

Indeed

Like all of the child rapists in Hollywood all have fake names?

they were all born with different names

Exactly

As if they all put on a costume that they wear every day for the rest of their lives.

So the rest of us don't know who they really are, and subsequently, what their intentions are.

Of course, there are a few who don't change their names, like Jeffrey Epstein.

Did you know that theatrical plays were a prostitute gig during the Greek Empire

nope

Birth place of Democracy

lol

hahaha

true

Coincidence?

I think not
