The judiciary, and the government are two pillars of democratic process. In this case the pillars have worked in one way. Saying that it is not democracy is moot. > If roads and other infrastructure were privately owned too, the Well if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. I think you are stretching the point too far. By this argument, before anything can happen - public land must be made private and then things would work. I will be dead by then. That is how slowly the government works anyway - so how is your idea any better? I do not doubt the soundness opf your principle - but movement has to occur from what we have, and not from what we should have had.
