notes on democracy

the basic problem with democracy is that:

it is far more likely to find one person who will put the needs of the group before himself than it is to find a majority of people who will do that…

however, the basic problem with dictatorship is that:

it is highly unlikely that that one benevolent person will be the person to rule.

democracy demands intelligence and compassion to thrive yet the democratic process requires neither.

thus, it would appear, entropy exists even in the most honorable political systems…

when applied to america, however, never underestimate the tenacity of mediocre minds.
