Now we're getting somewhere. I'm guessing that you favor a republic versus a direct democracy, then, based on your statements.

Would you then favor the repeal of the 17th Amendment? (providing for direct election of Senators?) Before this amendment, Senators were elected by the Congress of their state, not directly by the people.

These steps, as well as the staggered Senatorial terms and terms for each office, were intended to insulate the political process from a temporary whirlwind of popular opinion.

I do differ significantly on one point you made.

IMO the proper order of things is more control for me and more also for others. I don't mind other people making good or bad choices for themselves. If my ideas are good, they'll stand on their own merits.
