I reckon human society obeys the laws of thermodynamics - ie that
systems tend towards minimum (maximum?) entropy/energy. This state is
reached with maximum chaos/randomness. I dont think I would like this
state much as I appreciate the ability to live/work/travel safely.
Democracy takes a lot of energy input to maintain - it is naturally a
rather unusual system. Any sort of benign (by my reckoning) government
would suit me. I dont care whether it is a dictatorship or democracy - I
suspect most people are happy with the status quo . I agree that there
are some disturbing things happening to personal freedoms - we need to
be vigilant and speak up against this.

I wonder how often politicians and bureaucracies do much better?
You need to think outside the box.
I am convinced that people *always* do better without bureaucracy,
and if they are generally educated enough - they are better off without any
formal government as well.
Democracy is a nice tool to get people from the dark ages up to a stage where
formal governments become obsolete
Democracy goes stale and bad when a government does not realize it's own
obsolescence
I am not saying we are close to reaching that stage yet, but that our curent
government is way too much an atavism of the dark oppressive ages to serve
the purpose that is required - namely to be an efficient catalyst of change
towards an independent and peaceful productive society that copes better
without the big brother
