Tyrants and Slaves
Aristotle said that Democracy is the worst kind of government.
Tyranny, actually.
His ideal government was a constitutional, limited democracy, or a broad oligarchy.

Trying to decide whether to quote Ben Franklin now or later....
@JG: A democracy (majority rules) is the worst form of government. It is easy to sway the current opinion of a mob. Mob rule leads to chaos which eventually leads to tyranny when the average person begins to demand stability.

It depends actually. It can be easy to sway them one way, but with the cultural settings made by democracy, the people will more often than not sway back.

Actually I'd have to disagree with you. I really hate people who have some kind of dream of a completely globalised, grey, shitty society were everything that ever happens is because of profit, but according to their retarded beliefs, everyone is free, despite the fact that in the process of creating that society, the power of the people had to be hugely worn away at, because they were to 'racist', 'xenophobic', 'traditional' or whatever other insult they choose.
I actually like the idea of having the military power vested in the population, and their personal weapons. It basically fucks over the people I described above.
With all due respect this is not something I ever want to see. Not unless we can forcibly remove the 85% of the population which are unfit to make informed decisions involving weapons.
We should do away with all weapons in general.
Um no, if we did that then the many nations who are not willing to do away with weapons would seize the opportunity and eat us.
I guess you want trees and rocks to be illegal. Can't be having people crushing skulls with boulders and thick branches.
