"And government is busy keeping trying to keep up with them with ever expanding centralizing bureaucracies and nascent world government."

and given the extreme efficiency with which government operates </sarcasm, you are confident that they are capable of keeping up? I'm not.

"There are no success stories in the history of mass democracy."

There are no success stories of any form of government over the long term. All have evolved and/or fallen to revolution.

I am curious. Keeping in mind that power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, what form of government would you prefer to a Democratic Republic?

Another oft-mischaracterized and badly used quote from the interpid Lord Acton (not my favorite philsopher to start with, although he did have the virtue of being Catholic at least) From my "about" page:

I'm a monarchist and therefore I despise democracy and republicanism, but it is what we have so I support the major party closest to my views and that would be the Constitution Party.

I support the restoration of Christendom including all illegally deposed monarchs of Europe (Hapsburgs and Bourbons in particular) and the social Kingship of Jesus Christ as authoritatively adminstered by the Holy Roman Catholic Church.

Meet some of my friends

Sorry missed this part.

Modern democractic government is extremely efficent at one thing and one thing only - amassing power. I have no doubt we are headed for a world state. It is the only direction it can go unless the entire democratic structure disintigrates prior to it's attainment.
