I don't think most Americans know what the word "Democracy" means. I've found that most Americans don't know what a lot of words mean, but they'll argue until they're red in the face about them.

For those people, I've coined a new portmanteau - ignorrogant. They are ignorant, and absolutely arrogant about it!

You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
