You have a point. However, what you have...Hmmm. . . You have a point. However, what you haven't acknowledged is that if you don't give the rule to the majority, it's extremely, extremely easy for corrupt individuals to seize the government and the country. (Heck, it's already easy to do that.) You mentioned entrusting the country to the people who would rule well--how are those people supposed to be selected, if not by democratic election? By some committee? Who selects the committee?<br /><br />Actually, despite our current voting system, I wouldn't exactly say that the majority really does do most of the ruling--politicians and corporations just manipulate us into thinking that. All we do is select officials--and we're easily convinced to select incompetent, corrupt ones. But imagine how much worse off we would be if anyone who wanted to could seize power.Sonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16904377724623964438noreply@blogger.com
