A Constitutional Republic is even better!
You get 10 points for the Republic comment. Embarrassingly, most Americans think the US is a Democracy.

Ps. Best definition of a Democracy Ive ever heard is:
A Democracy is two wolves and sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
Ive heard this attributed to Churchill, but dont know for sure.

A Constitutional Republic: Voting on dinner is expressly forbidden, and the sheep are armed."

The full quote is:
"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!"
Benjamin Franklin

Hi Madmole,
Ensuring that the British tradition of brewing fine real ale is maintained is solumn matter that requires much personal sacrifice and dedication and if you will buy the next round you may join my cultural society for its appreciation.
Here's a salute for balding, big bellied, beer drinking, British divers. May they find their favourite ale, mild or bitter, dark or light, a joy to behold with a taste to delight.

At least we got to keep the decent beer
Them's fightin' words! I have yet to find a country with beer selections and styles superior that that of the american microbreweries.
And I have also found that both europe and america alike are overrun with drinkers that think Hopped Flavored Drink is 'good beer'. I couldn't believe the number of Irish in Dublin I witnessed ordering Budweiser... it was absolutely discusting.
However... I welcome the fight. Our best vs. your best....
Ah, then you must have never had Pearl in a can...
eck, I just got queasy typing that...

After the North American Beer Festival, all the brewery presidents decided to go out for a beer.
The guy from Budweiser says, "I'd like the best beer in the world, give me 'The King Of Beers', a Budweiser. " The bartender gives him one.
The guy from Coors says, "I'd like the only beer made with Rocky Mountain spring water, give me a Coors. " He gets it.
The guy from Corona sits down and says, "Hey Senor, I would like the world's best beer, a Corona." The bartender dusts off a bottle from the shelf and gives it to him.
The guy from Molson sits down and says, "Give me a Coke. "
The bartender is a little taken aback, but gives him what he ordered. The other brewery presidents look over at him and ask, "Why aren't you drinking a Molson's? "
The Molson president replies, "Well, I figured if you guys aren't drinking beer, neither would I.

In the US, we're not a democracy, we're more like an anarcho-syndicalist commune. Politicians take it in turns to act as a sort of executive officer for the week. But all the decision of that officer have to be ratified at a special biweekly meeting. By a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more complex matters.....Oh, I should just shutup and repress myself.
My favorite quote though, of which stupid airport searches remind me is:
"Anyone willing to give up essential liberty for a little peace and security is worthy of neither"
-Benjamin Franklin
