I don't recall anyone on the list suggesting that democracy is godlike in its effectiveness. I think and I imagine most others on the list would agree that democracy is flawed, but that it is at least marginally beter than most if not all of the other alternatives, and certainly better than anarchy. Has anyone got any suggestions for a better political system? Regards, Wayne Eddy _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
