The US is actually a Republic. It is governed by rule of law. The elected are bound by oath to the written governing limits (ie constitution) yet vote "together" and create laws to address concerns of the represented in a democratic way

Agreed.

Thank you for backing up my statement earlier in here, saying it too is a Republic. It is truly a Republic.

My next statement was too harsh to say, so I pulled it via edit.

Too harsh for whom? Idahoans are tough and can handle different points of view...right?

I think he's saying he had to keep civil because it would be cut by the moderator. Anyhow, we do need to keep it civil and informative at the same time.

On the positive side, people should know that Idaho ranks highly in terms of personal freedom. The state moved up one position to 7th overall in the recently released report on Freedom in the 50 States by the Cato Institute.

Idaho ranks very high on measures relating to economic, fiscal and regulatory freedom, but somewhat lower on measures related to personal freedom. Nevertheless, improvements were made in many areas since the last time the study was published.
