Yet when Democracy was first employed in ancient Athens, it was ultimately a failure as it eventually degenerated into mindless mob rule. (Recently, the support for Sarah Palin as Vice-President shows the same trend in this country).
Although, I didn't vote for Sarah Palin.
Your assertion that support for Palin was tantamount to mob rule is pure nonsense, bordering on idiotcy
Sarah Palin could not correctly answer a eight grade question as to the constitutional responsibilties of the Vice-President, while she was running for Vice-president. IT WAS ABSURD!
The fact that so many Americans voted for the McCain/Palin ticket, knowing that she would be next in line for the Presidency, was equally ABSURD.
The level of either plain stupidity or at best, the lack of seriousness of these voters is VERY much a parallel of the mob mentality that ruined Athenian democracy.
