| | The Nation of Weasel well almost seems they decided on South Carolina instead. If it had been Alabama though, my plans would have been one step closer...once I wiped out the religion part.

Hee hee, it would be interesting to see what that bunch of yahoos comes up with.
And as to Sir Weasel's plans for world domination, I'm fairly certain they are so convoluted as to be nigh incomprehensible.
This might just be a plot to make you think that he is trying to distract you but instead is a even more sinister plan to make you take notice of something which he created to enhance other aspects of something he'd rather you notice, and he'd rather not notice.
hmmmmm I made absolutely no sense did I? Oh well shows what writing late at night with no sleep for days does.

Hmm.. America has declined from a republic to a democracy.
Can anyone explain the difference between the two to me? I've several times heard the terms republic and democracy used as if there was a difference between them, but I have always thought they were identical one coming from Greek and one from Latin.
If they do indeed have a difference in meaning, what am I to make of countries calling themselves democratic republics?

"for the people, by the people" if I can remember correctly. It means that the people are the ones in charge, or something like that. Can't remember what republic is, though. I think it refers to the country/state, like the Republic of Texas.

Democracy = Everything is voted on by the people.
Republic = Some people are voted on to represent your views. They then in turn vote for the stuff or pay raises they want. The people then either replace them on the next election or decide they did deserve the pay raise and the stuff they voted for.
Democratic Republic = The same as a Republic, just a bigger word. This comes about because Fable likes big words. If the Weasel Republic comes about, Fable is going to have to stop this. 
Weasel Republic = One person represents all. (No voting)
(Warning these views are the views of one Weasel "I jumped too many ramps with my bicycle while I was little" the Tyrant)

And since you're in town, would you like to come over this weekend for Bar-B-Q ?

If Roy Moore (Ex Crack pot Judge) and his bunch (Crack pots wanting to be Judges) get their way...I wish I would be coming to Texas or somewhere. except.. Florida is only 50 miles away though ...but the hanging chads still kind of turn a pale light to this option.
