The wide spread use of the word theory is completely different than the meaning when used in the discpline of science.
But in an INTELIGENT disussion of the political science and it's terminology, democracy has a specific meaning...forgive me; I thought I was dealing with INTELLIGENT people...my bad.
Also I to can cut and paste from the internet as well:
Main Entry: de·moc·ra·cy
Pronunciation: di-mäk-r-s
Function: noun
Inflected Form(s): plural -cies
Etymology: from early French democratie "democracy," from Latin democratia (same meaning), from Greek demokratia "democracy," from dmos "people, the masses" and -kratia "rule, government," from kratos "strength, power, authority" --related to EPIDEMIC
1 a : government by the people; especially : rule of the majority b : government in which the supreme power is held by the people and used by them directly...
So endth the lesson.
