I have read this post I find the debate about democracy interesting but also irelevant. Democracies or Monarchies are merely governments, not idealogy. You can have a free democracy and a free Monarchy, but what you need is for the concepts of Freedom and Individual rights to regain intellectual dominance. This has been acheived but once in the history of mankind, it was called the Age of the enlightenment. The spark of the 18th century fueled the industrial revolution and unparalled prosperity of the 19th, but by the 20th century its intellectual dominance was challenged and defeated resulting in its bloody century. You are indeed right that those who control information, control the world. Well the sheep anyway. Knowledge is power and CNN and the newspapers undoubtably have more power than the President of America. In reality whether you call it democracy, republic or a monarchy. All rule is mob rule, If the masses do not accept your concept be it Capitalism, communism or fuedalism, it won't happen. We simply need to find mediums to get through to them, and the internet will be a worthy tool in this respect. The Bill of Rights is just a scrap of paper today, to most people, because they don't beleive in it anymore.
