Hmmm, it certainly seems that with the exception of the occasional sweeping victory (in election), America will continue to be bogged down in the lumbering nature of democracy. Worse still, it contains a conflict fought with little moral regard and even less purity of principle... Over here in the UK, it's not much better. But hope is, as ever, present so that the polluted and immature nature of government 'debates' and the endless slew of words with little or no meaning, will be left behind as they eventually come to realise who they work for...
I have no problem with democracy, since it is flexible to the will of the people. But, when it is bogged down by spinsters, liars, thieves, religion and cults of personality (to name but a few corrupting forces), you can't help but wonder if this would all be easier with a morally astute, wise, principled and socially responsible dictator!
But of course any system, whatever its mechanics or ideals, requires the intellectually ineffective (and psychos) to be refused entry of office (by direct or indirect public decree)... Easy :S
