What is the alternative? Yes we are NOT all equal. Some of us are more rational and intelligent than others. But how would you go about determining one's intellectual and moral worthiness? (Education? IQ?) And who gets to decide the criteria for superiority?
If you were as smart as you think you are...you would have considered these issues before making such a shockingly elitist statement.
- voicereasonish 13y agoI don't consider myself especially smart. But giving everyone an equal say in the running of a country is pure madness. The better alternative is a friendly dictator, or a good monarchy. My original comment was to point out that "Democracy" is not some perfect utopia that every country should strive for.
- booruguru 13y agoDemocracy is not perfect, but it's the best option available. Also, I can't tell if you're being facetious or if you truly believe we would be better of with dictatorships...because there are plenty of real-world examples to choose from and they're quite horrible.
