Pigs in a Blanket!

As of late, my scripture reading has consisted of the books of Mosiah and Alma from The Book of Mormon. Of particular interest now is the final chapter of Mosiah, wherein Mosiah suggests to the people that they end the reign of kings and begin a democracy.

16 Now I say unto you, that because all men are not just it is not expedient that ye should have a king or kings to rule over you.
17 For behold, how much iniquity doth one wicked king cause to be committed, yea, and what great destruction!
24 And now behold I say unto you, it is not expedient that such abominations should come upon you.
25 Therefore, choose you by the voice of this people, judges, that ye may be judged according to the laws which have been given you by our fathers, which are correct, and which were given them by the hand of the Lord.
26 Now it is not common that the voice of the people desireth anything contrary to that which is right; but it is common for the lesser part of the people to desire that which is not right; therefore this shall ye observe and make it your law--to do your business by the voice of the people.
27 And if the time comes that the voice of the people doth choose iniquity, then is the time that the judgments of God will come upon you; yea, then is the time he will visit you with great destruction even as he has hitherto visited this land.

I had a much longer discussion written out, but felt that ultimately it detracted from the words of a prophet. Suffice it to say, the presidential race (in some states) and certain Propostions were within a few percent. The voice of the people is becoming less majority and more of an equal division.
