Dragan,

>>You got direct elections on several levels - including your CEO. CEO was elected, and so was the Board. Now if you were smart, you had a chance to put the right guys into right places and hit it rich...

At the risk of sounding reactionary... have you read "Atlas Shrugged?" Democracy works at a policy level. It is lousy at an administrative or business level.

>>Another misconception, that people without leaders would inevitably end up in chaos.

I never said that- in fact I tried to distinguish my point from the popular misconceptions.

Anyway, I'm confused- if you voted for a CEO then surely you had a leader?

>>I know of several cases where the people just got (self-)organized with their neighbors across the line to fake war, shoot randomly at certain times of day, exhchange drinks and roast mutton during other hours, and report to their superiors that they're both fighting.

Surely that is just another a management/leadership failure.

>>Are you really sure it works? :)

Democracy? Well, I've learned to be careful in this thread ;-) I'll say it is far from perfect, but IMHO it works better than the alternatives.
