#1 we have similar problems in our universities. It's not the vote that keeps guys like Sadaam out of power.

Just as a side note, it's the BALANCE of power that keeps guys like Sadaam out, not "democracy". The vote is how oridnary, not-powerful people exercise power in their "branch" of our government.

Really, voting is just a kinder/gentler way for The People(TM) to express their collective power, using a show of hands, rather than arms.

#2 Chaos, confusion, argument, scepticism, and a charming dollop of anarchy. The underpinnings of a truly successful higher education system. The future looks bright.

It's not democracy - it's libertarianism. :p
