I don't care what flavor of democracy, but everyone should have a right and a say in how they are governed. > Do you have any evidence that the iraqis and saudis would be better > if you replace the current set of kings and dictators by the MBAed > corporate rulers? Do you mean, like comparing the human rights record and standard of living between people living in democratic countries and those living in dictatorships? It seems obvious (which is another way of saying that there is TONS of anecdotal evidence), and I have read some articles that have some data on that, but I can't point them out to you now. Do you really doubt it? If so, why not do some research for articles that study that sort of thing? -- "Erik Reuter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.erikreuter.net/ _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
