Sorry, my dear, but you’re missed the boat on this one. The Founding Fathers specifically framed the Constitution to ensure that the newly freed colonies became a Constitutional Republic, NOT a so-called “democracy.” In fact the U.S. Constitution, Article IV, Section 4, reads: “The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government…” The word “republican” does not refer to any political party (as there were none at that time), but to the form of government. “The republican is the only form of government which is not eternally at open or secret war with the rights of mankind.”—Thomas Jefferson, Letter to William Hunter, 1790. “Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide. It is in vain to say that democracy is less vain, less proud, less selfish, less ambitious, or less avaricious than aristocracy or monarchy.” —John Adams, in an 1814 letter to John Taylor. Benjamin Franklin's response to Elizabeth Willing Powel's question: "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?" Mr. Franklin answered without hesitation, “A republic, if you can keep it. (September 17, 1787)

“The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting.” —Charles Bukowski

Medical research is, in large part, funded by the major pharmaceutical companies. So it is no small wonder that doctors and hospitals over prescribe these drugs in accordance with their over production by the same companies. In effect, doctors and hospitals have become dope dealers.

As an American and Vietnam Era veteran, I never could understand the animosity between the U.S. and German governments, especially during the First World War. As for WWII, it was more a matter of self-defense, as Hitler and his henchmen had to be stopped. But in reality, Germans and Americans have much in common culturally. Anywhere from 15% to 20% of the U.S. population (along with our English language) has German roots. During the mid to late 1960's, one of the most coveted overseas assignments was to be stationed in West Germany. Prost und beste Wünsche.
