OT: Republic based upon a representative democracy is what I'm talking about. I'm sure you can see both the common ground between the two and the esoteric (read meaningless) distinction that you made in your post.
Are you represented by your congressional delegation in your district or our republic? The last time I went to visit my congressman, the waiting line included so many business interests that there was no room for me and my citizen colleague to sit. An attempt to set up a visit with my senator was fruitless.
