Democracy is like the towns people deciding Frankenstein is a freak. Mob rule is what majority rule is. In my opinion, the majority of people are too asinine to rule my life on this earth that they don't own. A creator based universal rights constitutional republic is better than democracy. No matter our system, man's or mankinds, it will fall short of the perfect system set aside for those willing to forsake the things of this world.

advance the technology to support democracy whilst preventing misuse! really? Legal systems around the world have not kept up with current technology. Current legal and political systems are too slow, bogged down in legislation to keep up. But I guess politicians can say anything, even without having the actual ability to meet their words with actions.
