We've been living in cities for, what, like almost 10,000 years? And somehow even after all this time we still haven't come up with a way to govern that just works. Democracy is easily the best idea so far. It works because the statistical mean of all of us makes better decisions than the worst of us. Problem is, we haven't found a way to safeguard democracy from the fact that all of the people can be conned some of the time, and some all of the time. Be nice if we had a functional press.
