Yeah, your posts take a lot of guts. You're not going to tell anyone where you come from so you can bash the US over some truly random list of problems (read that list of yours again, makes me laugh).
You're right, the US is a democratic republic but it is not a pure democracy. Voters choose the President, congressmen, governors, mayors and other officials but they don't pick the judges, for example, and usually can't decide individual laws (except referendums). Our constitution has lots of checks and balances against tyrannies of any kind, including the "tyranny of the majority" looking to deprive others of their rights. We like it here. You're more than welcome to stay where you are in your wonderfully just anonymous country.
