Someone famous and profound, from the French Revolution, and I can't find it on the web, said something like:

"The English are free for one day every five years. After that they are just as much a slave to the state as they ever where (before democracy)"

referring, of course, to voting day.

>The American people never voted on going to war, funding the war, or even Afghanistan. You do not vote personally in Canada either, correct? You vote for a representative in Congress and a Senator and they vote on your behalf (well their equivalents). Typically they don't vote the way every person would...

>>>The reality is that the American people did NOT vote for the war in Iraq to begin with.

>>What do you mean by that statement? Are you saying that only congress got to vote?
