Yep....

"Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…"

mhaze,
Come to think of it, what the pro-democracy advocates are really after is a Govt for each of them rather than a Govt for all !

Whereas all the other forms of government (oligopoly, dictatorship, totalitarian, kleptocracy, monarchy etc etc ) are totally about government for all?

Or maybe just one of them....which one indi?
