What's the alternative?
You have to pick a point somewhere between anarchy and dictatorship. You have to balance personal liberty and societal responsibility. Democracy (or something resembling it) seems to be the best compromise. Of course it has problems. But what else can we do? The tighter the leash, the more open the system is to corruption. And trying to have no government at all would quickly be a hideous failure, I would imagine.
