• You have definitely hit the nail on the head with this one Timothy. Democracy is inherently flawed for the Information Age. Even at it's best it is a win/lose system. The majority wins and the minority loses. Here are a couple of additional problems with it:
  
  1-It is not a system of individual liberty. 2-Minorities such as Blacks or Indians must always loose in a majority rule system. 3-It is a dictator system where we merely get to elect the dictators. 4-It is a system of control.
