>And if it is the us American who makes first contact, we would probably force democracy on them too.
A good thing shouldn't have to be forced on anyone. They simply choose it if given the chance.
The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
- Alexis de Tocqueville
No man’s life, liberty, or property is safe while the legislature is in session.
– Mark Twain (1866)
