I was actually being more specific with my examples so they apply better to the real world (aka her world).
In my first attempt to explain it to her, I asked whether she thought the U.S. was a democracy or a republic.
She said democracy, because, Obama is president.
Before you ask, we both went to public school so lets get that out of the way.
I'll say right up front...congratulations for even any pillow-talk-chitty-chatty directed the Freedom and Liberty way...
furthermore...previously I stated that only one percent of the American population(3 Million) would even listen to our message...
then I stated that only five percent of those(150 Thousand) would do what's necessary to somewhat protect themselves from the looters...
and out of that number, perhaps only five to ten percent will be women(7,500 to 15,000)...
so...congratulations if you've really found one...and run like hell if you haven't...
