All alone in a committee room of the Senate Office Building in Washington, I was reading the dry typewritten pages in an unpublished report of an almost forgotten congressional committee hearing.

And for well over a hundred years our politicians, statesmen, and people remembered that this was a republic, not a democracy, and knew what they meant when they made that distinction.

In a democracy there is a centralization of governmental power in a simple majority.

Newspapers write ringing editorials declaring that this is and always was a democracy.

Eventually I foresee voting on the Internet, which will lead to much more direct democracy.

As a car lover, I ask myself, 'What am I going to be buying in the future? Will it be a boring, underpowered, dorky car because the government tells me I shouldn't pollute? Or do I come up with a cool-looking, sexy dream car that is also part of the future?'

I'm not entirely sure what my end goal is, but I'd love to get involved in city politics and broadcast TV.

Throughout my life, I have publicly and privately denounced military interventions in domestic politics. In fact, I have been advocating for democracy for decades.
