"you can say oz shouldn't be democratic, because you think ozzies are too ignorant or too slavish to manage it. but be honest: say you despise ozzies, not that democracy doesn't work."

DEMOS. I didn't say "democracy doesn't work" I said the Athenian model where everyone votes on every issue cannot work in a country of 20 million people. Please read my posts before replying, and please refrain from mindless natterings like "say you despise ozzies". I am interested in a real discussion not a flame war.
