USED to stand for. All we are now are subjects of a beaurocratsy of representatives elected by the people, but influenced by those with money - in other words, rich people, businesses, and political orginizations.
So its a beauro-plutocratic republic, in other words.
I really find it funny how we worship and mythify the rhetoric of freedom, and John Locke, the enligthenment and scientific revolution of the time period in which our nation came into being, but in reality now all we do is act like another apathetic, overgrown, too-settled established large nation thats starting to grow a little on the oppressive side.
If this keeps up, and theres no political turnover on 06 and 08, things could get interesting.
But, I degress - I only ranted because this is what spawned the way we treat children now. Break them and make them "respect authority" and do as told, because clearly an appointed beaurocrat knows better than Joe Public does about whats best for himself, and uppity independant kids that dont step in line need to be broken and beaten into submission.
