To unironically quote the Madison (WI) protestors, 'This is what democracy looks like.' Thank God I live in a republic.

Ah outdated 18th century distinctions.

Republics dont have locally elected municipal governments?

I'd have more respect for him if he had mentioned Dunkirk, or the Ia Drang Valley.  YOU GUYS HAVE JUST CROSSED THE YALU

I'm not sure what AmScip's thing had to do with Rob Ford. I think the Wisconsin protesters were just protesting the individuals who had pushed for a recall election against Governor Scott Walker, which was not successful. I think the point being that in a Republic, I guess, you're supposed to accept when someone is elected they get to hold office until their term is up and should not be subject to the random democratic whims of the "mob." But I don't really know, people who hold signs up are so stupid it's hard to meaningfully articulate a reasonable concept out of what is probably a dangerously stupid idea.

You made a good choice to become a lawyer instead of a logician.

QuoteCrack-smoking Toronto mayor taking leave to seek help, lawyer says

TORONTO — The lawyer for Toronto Mayor Rob Ford says Ford will take a leave of absence to seek help for substance abuse.

Dennis Morris, Ford's lawyer, said Wednesday night that Ford acknowledges he has a substance abuse problem and he wants to do something about it.

Ford, who is seeking re-election in the October election, acknowledged last year after months of denials that he smoked crack in a "drunken stupor" after police said they obtained a video that appears to show him smoking crack. The video has never been released to the public.

News reports of the crack video's existence first surfaced last May, igniting a media firestorm around Ford. He careened from one scandal to another, becoming a national embarrassment for many Canadians.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
