Paramendra..."...America is what it is because it is the world's oldest democracy.."
NOT....it's Greece, old chap!
The word itself comes from Greek:
from Greek dEmokratia, from dEmos + kratia.
a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority
America's Electoral College does not qualify as "majority rule", otherwise Gore would have been the President in 2000.
