In general I agree, but as often, Uriel seems impossible to
differentiate listening from deciding.

There is a difference between listening and deciding. A perfect
dictator _listens_ to his nation, but is independent enough to
_decide_ differently to what the majority requests. This project
is *not* democratic and will never be. Then I would quit my job.

But in contrast to Uriel, I listen to other opinions regardless
what I decide. Uriel won't listen if the opinion does not match
his basic ideology: Plan 9 (good) !Plan 9 (crap)
