I don't believe there are intrinsic flaws in democracy, so much as there are intrinsic flaws in *human*nature* that are coming to light after decades. government is a reflection of our human natures. one cannot really expect a government to correct the flaws of its users, any more than software could do the same.
No intrinsic flaws in democracy?
Surely you jest.
Please be so kind as to detail your top three flaws...
I think my Parts II and III detailed a number of shortcomings of democracy, at least when the franchise goes to 'employees' as opposed to 'customers' of government. --Steve
