What is the best form of government?

Interesting how no one yet has chosen democracy as the best form of government…

I dont think it is that surprising.  All it takes is a look at the present state of the US to see that democracy has plenty of flaws.  I think it is the best practical form of government in terms of allowing the most freedom for all but it is not ideal by any means.

I agree with that.  I think that democracy would be a tempting choice for young students who grow up to think that democracy is the end-all and be-all, but once people see how flawed it really is it's easy to see how a multitude of minds isn't very "great" by any means.  Practically speaking, the advantage of (American) democracy is that the element of danger is greatly reduced because no one person can act unilaterally.

I might as well chose anarchy.  I can board up my house, reload some more ammo and order everything I need from the internet.

😀  Yeah, this would happen until you find it much more convenient to draw up a pact with your next door neighbor, whose house is also boarded up and has guns ready by the door, to engage in limited trading of goods.  He grows the corn in his backyard, and you grow the carrots; you two then trade and find it much more beneficial to live in that system.  Soon enough you find it even more beneficial to include the guy two doors down in the agreement who grows apples.  Then the next guy down the block as well who grows tomatoes.  Soon enough you set up a basic written format for additional people to follow to engage in the trade of goods, as well as some peaceable way of fixing problems that inevitably occur during the transaction.Before you know if you've set up a quasi-government to protect all your interests.  ;D
