My point was that democracy is a horrible system, it doesn't work well, and you end up with idiotic laws decided just based on what the mob majority want.
However, it's pretty much the best we've got so far, but that's not saying much.
Democracy is fine if the majority are sane, have good morals, etc etc. But the majority of people in the US believe in god :/ The majority watch "American idol" and think the height of cuisine is macdonalds. Doesn't bode well.
