Mob Rules?

From my last post, you now know the difference between a Democracy and a Republic.  What may not know is that the Obama administration is either intentionally or through incompetence moving us towards a true Democracy, which you also know is only a temporary state on the road towards Oligarchy.  Hard to believe?  Remember that Democracy is really 'Mob Rules' and Republic is "The Rule of Law".  So, the first example that pops into my mind is the AIG Bonus situation.  The general population (mob) was enraged about this because at first glance these bonuses seem to be ludicrous.  However, think about it in a different way - think about your own relationship with your employer.  You may have a contract that details what  you are supposed to do, and what they are supposed to pay you in return.  You have confidence that this contract will be honored because it is protected by Law.  In the case of AIG, the government did their best to dissolve this contract when it had absolutely NO RIGHT to do it because we live in a Republic - where the Law is supreme, even above majority (mob) rule.  In a democracy, any thing goes, as long as the mob wants it!  Ultimately, this is why a democracy is only a transitional state that cannot survive.  Eventually a true democracy will de-evolve into anarchy, and then oligarchy just as history has proven many times over.
