How can openning the inauguration to the public and not charging a fee ever be construed as "denegrat[ing] ou[r] democracy"? It is in fact, the opposite. Democracy means government by the people, for ALL the people, with total equality and no class distinctions. I think this idea, if anything, is returning us to our basic ideals of democracy. I am very hopeful that Spitzer will make a remarkable governor for every New Yorker, not just the rich and connected. While I like to dress up too, I must correct the last emailer.
