Democracy reminds me of Christianity or socialism, or ending war. There nice ideas, but that's not who we are as a species. This presupposes that who we really are is a species is one that finds equilibrium in submitting to arbitrary rule from above. I don't see any evidence of that, quite the contrary. We may be incapable of democracy, but the free human spirit will never be at peace with or submit to absolute rule, whether by kings, feudal lords, dictators or faceless corporations. I detest Churchill, but I agree with him on this, that "Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others."
