Uwe, any government made up of people is going to go wrong eventually. The only question is how long it will take. Doing the things that Ribbit has proposed can slow down the going wrong, but there is nothing that can prevent a group of people from taking and abusing power ... except another group of people who are willing to stand up to them, with force when necessary.

We haven't had that ``another group'' in this country for a very long time.
