  1. I wish Utah had a thoughtful, print-media enterprise willing to delve into the important distinction between a democracy and a constitutional republic like ours.

    It’s a big deal, because in many ways, the whole idea of having a constitution itself, particularly a constitution that establishes a constitutional republic like ours, is materially different and distinct from a democracy.

    Democracy isn’t the objective; liberty, peace, and prospefity are. We want the human condition to flourish. Rank democracy can thwart that.

    When it comes to infection rates, are we comparing apples to apples? Do other countries use the same testing protocols we do?

    Government is the official use of coercive force—nothing more and nothing less. The Constitution protects us by limiting the use of government force.

    The word “democracy” appears nowhere in the Constitution, perhaps because our form of government is not a democracy. It’s a constitutional republic. To me it matters. It should matter to anyone who worries about the excessive accumulation of power in the hands of the few.
