An Imperfect Democracy

Space/Science » in reply to Civics 101 - This isn't a democracy

You missed the point entirely and it is a democracy. Our representatives are very poll conscious when the big special interests don't stand in the way (and I doubt they will in this instance). As I stated previously space advocates have done a poor job convincing the general public over the last 30 years.
