Democracy, the living fallacy of numbers

[BCEmporium]

For how long we can run a system where we ask people who can barely, or even can't, manage their own households, who is suitable for manage the whole country?!

Furthermore, we seams to come to the ultimate Democratic bull, when people think they can vote for anything! I own you x? Let me vote here with my folks to decide if I own you or not.
Why don't people just vote against gravity and jump of a cliff?!

There's no limit for the number of idiots, the only known limit is the number of voters...

Democracy is just a Kind word for the Dictatorship of the majority. It didn't work in Greece and it doesn't work today. Now we have the technology to implement real decentralization and that should be the next Political system.

Doubt it, and this world isn't going anywhere to decentralization. We are way too many and way too many totalitarian groups are forming around.

People nowadays seams to need to learn the boundaries of democracy. You can't vote for anything, there's plenty on this world that our opinions counts for nothing. You won't make Santa real by voting it, you don't make God real by voting it, you won't bend a single law of physics by voting and so on...
And even if we vote, no matter the result, it doesn't make it legit, fair or just.

I recall a movie, isn't quite a good one, named Starship Troopers, it has an interesting political system however. A sort of democracy where voting rights are earned by public duty. Maybe something to think about, after all what's "given" has no value.
