@Veronica D

Technically, we actually live in a democratic republic. In a republic, one or more levels of government hierarchy have control of the laws. In a democracy, the people have direct access to change the legal system. Unfortunately, a true democracy like that is susceptible to short sways of public opinion, and has many technical reasons why it’s impractical. So instead, we compromise. We use democracy to elect representatives in the republic – thus, democratic republic.

You’ve out-done yourself Uncle Jay! Did I hear New Testiment somewhere? Messiah/Obama, Tax/Levy: we live in a two-faced world.

Uncle Jay,
James has a very valid point.
The hearing impared need you to post subtitles!
It is not really that hard, and then, you would be in compliance with the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act).

We love you, but you better get into compliance!

Hi Uncle Jay, since you are an expert with editing video with all those bells and whistles, why don’t you put up subtitles for hearing impaired folks? You looks funny and interesting but I don’t understand what you are saying. All I see was your face expressions, nothing more.

Uncle Jay replies: I’ve researched adding subtitles or closed captions, and it requires more resources and time than one guy can add to his production schedule. I hope technology gets to the point where it becomes possible.

Dear Uncle Jay,
Help!
Please give advice for couples who are at polar opposites
of the political spectrum. Has there been a spike in the
divorce rate recently? The heat and volume of so called public
debate is more corrosive to marriages than those gays
wanting matrimonal privileges.
Thank you for getting us through the day.
Affectionately,
Lynne.
