democracy is a nasty meme, you should seek to de-louse yourself asap.

edit: if anyone would care to help me become less wrong you’re free to point me to a defense of democratic methods.

  Obligatory Churchill quote:
  
  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.
  
  -- Winston Churchill, Speech in the House of Commons: The Official Report, House of Commons (5th Series), 11 November 1947, vol. 444, cc. 206–07.
