thats why i appreciate democracy... you get to rant but in the end, i am comforted by the fact that it changes nothing and i dont have to worry about a minority wanting to do the best for the majority.

Talk about naive. Just watch television for 20 minutes to see where a large portion of the populaces IQ level is. And the problem is the people who get it, as you say, don.t step up. You cant have it both ways, either "everyone gets it" and I am young and just now figuring it out, or few get it and it needs to be said.
And by the way, we DO NOT have a democratic system of government, so I am not sure what you appreciate. I am glad we don't live in a democracy where the majority can trample the rights of the individual(which is the overriding principle that this country was founded on).
Ron Paul will probably not get elected. And you can dismiss him as a fringe cook because his view of government is different than yours and the people now in power. But everything he espouses is based on Constitutional law and the bill of rights. You may think these are fringe and cooky ideas, but without them we are no different than any other place in the world. I think it is important to try to preserve them and that is why Ron Paul will get my vote.
