The Voice of the People or Silence of the Lambs?

Once again I wonder why we talk about "democracy" when we don't even have it in our country.
Yes, call me what you want to, but I believe in actual democracy. Now, if the so called "representatives" elected by the people, heeded the will of the people who elected them, then and only them would I say representative democracy works.

Why am I babbling about this again? Well, a certain lady mayor in a certain Idaho city once again spurned the will of the people, as did several other so called council persons, elected to do the will of the people. What would have been wrong with an advisory vote on a certain project concerning "public" lands? Yes, the people own McEuen, not the mayor and not the council. Voters, take notice, and remember this when election time comes again.
