Jim,
I repeat here what I posted in your forum after watching the videos.
Jim, That was very interesting and informative.
I can now understand a little more of (for example) the right to carry arms etc, fundamental differences in the systems.
The only slight inaccuracy I noticed was "In a democracy where somebody is taken to court, say over a house there would be a majority vote from a jury but this would still be according to the interpretation of the law, not just because most just decided" in other words the majority have to, following advice, to decide whether a particular law has been broken.
Differently to Amanda however I watched the last video and was blown away.
Who are the guitarists?

I confess that to date I would have considered you, (And I'm searching for a term) a redneck? Maybe not? but somebody who sees things subversive behind every curtain or under every stone etc. but now I begin to understand.
You are right that things have changed since the original Republic ideals but only you can decide, for better or worse. I, as an observer from a country which helped found America but went on to impose an imperial rule can only look with envy upon many of your freedoms and with puzzlement over other issues.
Put it this way Jim. I may not agree with your politics (with a capital P) but now have a healthier respect for what you wish to preserve.
More power to your elbow my friend.
Roger
