Coulombe Quote

Notes Charles A. Coulombe in an excellent article from the November/December 2000 issue of the Barnes Review:

[M]onarchies have lost much of their ability to serve their people through acceptance of the myth that the politicians really do speak for the people – or for that matter, that whatever the majority of the people want at any given time ought to be given preference over objective right and wrong.

That is the weakness of domecracies! Many people mistakenly beleive that they actually are involved in the decision making!

But just try and explain that to someone, and they will to into a fit acusing you of being either a facist or an anarchist, strangly never a communist!
