Plato went over all this a while ago. ;)
Having analysed every possible system he concluded an enlightened dictatorship was the only satisfactory system but that, given human nature, that was unattainable.

Churchill said democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. But he also said the best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

All that sounds very much to me as if the problem is us. If we have power we become corrupt and if we don't we're too stupid (or lazy or greedy) to elect enlightened leaders.

There's a fair chance Obama will lose because he's portrayed as a S.......ist. As if that's a bad thing. How ignorant is that? Rampant Capitalism unsoftened by a touch of liberalism and sharing of wealth is a monster. And the same people who throw up their hands at the very thought of spreading wealth are the same ones that are enthusiastic Christians.

Eeedjits.
