Counting on Democracy could be a fools errand.
How can a democracy, based on religious mores and ethics, from a culture based on religious mores and ethics evolving from human society, itself based on religious mores and ethics act in opposition to it's own self interests? The society most people want functions most efficiently at a cooperation level precipitously close to a bee hive, everyone gets their fair share and everyone is equidistant from the "seat of power" .
