You know, if you're going to spout things off like that Ms, you should at least not modify the definitions. And, for that matter, you need to actually read what other people write, rather than trying, yet again, to pretend it doesn;t exist.

For that matter, both "Republic" and "Democracy" have meanings even by your modified versions that are more or less identical. Not that you noticed.

From dictionary.com...

Moreover, wikipedia agrees with me as well.

Sorry Rex, but you've got nothing.
