Are we a Democratic Republic now? With the passing of the 17th amendment, maybe so. Maybe a foreign king who visited the Greek assembly said it best "I find it astonishing that here wise men speak on public affairs, while fools decide them". A democracy of any kind would accomplish just that.
The box says the cupcakes have to be in the oven for 21 minutes (adjusted for altitude), so that gives me 20.5 minutes to explain this shit to you.

Let's start with the Founding Fathers, and what "they" supposedly wanted. Are you fucking serious with that shit? Who the fuck are you, John Conner's travel agent? The Fucking Fuckers disagreed with each other half the time, and were wrong the other half. 3/5ths of a man? Yeah, that sounds about right...Assholes.

What they were not, was a super human panel of wise aliens. They were just regular fucking people, doing their best to plagiarize England's system of government, without being to obvious about it (fail, btw).

Claiming to "know" what they wanted, is retarded, because they weren't even sure what they wanted. The FF's were all over the goddamn map.

So. This is what they wanted:

They wanted us to be a combination of a Republic, a Democracy, and a Federation, because just one of those choices on it's own, would have made some people happy, and everyone knows that that role of Government, is to make as many people unhappy as possible.

Point being, there was never a true consensus among the FF's. There was only compromise.

I have to go do that thing with the toothpick now. SOME people say you should just go by time, (Federalist dickheads) but I still want to see a clean tooth pick, or I'm leaving them in the oven.

1st rule of negotiation: If everyone leaves the table, vaguely dissatisfied with the result, then it's the correct outcome.
