We should have a democracy here. At least on the local level. Where national laws thwart liberty and self-determination local and state laws are allowed to block them; local being of a higher deviation than state. However, Democracy is mob rule, so if 51% vote yes in the local community on something and 50% vote no and it passes, what do the 50% do. We should have a vestige of the moral principles of democracy, such as a system of government where the citizens exercise power in all maters, However, most people these days have not a clue of politics, geopolitics or anything else for that matter. It wasn't like this in antiquity; the dumbing down of society has been purposeful and this has to change. Education in the philosophical sense and ethical sense needs to change drastically, so the majority of citizens can be knowledgable in these fields.

Iactually, wrote a 35 page thesis on the best forms of governance, I'll try to find it.

I wrote that we need a mixed government, where principles of democracy rule, but that these mob rulings do NOT infringe on local rights, of self-determination, property, privacy and liberty.

An example would be contract law and how to teach children at a young age, how contract law can work in tacit agreements. That is what private entities like to do now, if YOU ARE the PRODUCT. If you do not say no, then that means yes, even if they never told you they were going to do it.
