I think MMY knew the weaknesses of the democratic system, although the way it is being practiced today would have the founders spinning in their graves. As MMY used to say, "the government is an innocent reflection of the level of consciousness of the people...." Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. --George Bernard Shaw Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed, it has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. --Sir Winston Churchill Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what they think it is you want to hear. --Alan Corenk
