Well, then maybe I should define what I mean by "democracy."

To me, democracy means majority rule. Period. Without protections for the minority. Anything can get passed on as policy as long as it gets one more yes vote than no votes.

We are a society, as you say, and more input from the society members would be wonderful. And the two particular issues you mention would be high on my list of things to discuss. <I for one would have never thought b*gg*r would be a banned word>

So - yes I think making it a democracy = by my definition of democracy = could lead to anarchy.

Maybe we could elect representatives???
