Yes, I did mean to say that. The problem with California's economic meltdown is the excersise of pure democracy by its citizens.
We do not have a democratic form of government. We have a representative form of government. What is the difference? We elect representatives who in turn are charged with running government, hopefully, to some extent, after some deliberation and consideration of how proposed laws will affect the big picture.In a pure democracy, on the other hand, the majority prevails on any issue.
