Mob rule

[fluffymark]

Can someone, anyone, explain to me just WHY democracy is supposed to be a good thing? I could never understand this. While you're at it, can anyone explain just how having elected representatives in a parliament constitutes "democracy", as it still doesn't seem that democratic to me!

Just because a plurality (or even a majority) of people want something doesn't make it right, or even the best thing to do.

When I rule the world everyone will have chocolate, and life will be perfect

Wow! I live in Florida, and if you said that Castro hasn't spread catastrophe around here, you'd get your head bitten off! Castro has murdered thousands (starting with his close friends and allies who helped him overthrow the previous leader), and destroyed the lives of virtually everyone in Cuba. Even his sister lives in the U.S. and won't have anything to do with him!
