Democracy is about people. People are like other people. No one is "superior" by
virtue of race, sex, color, education, wisdom, size or strength. So how can one or
several people govern the remaining people in the world by virtue of some
personal characteristic that purports to justify the elevated position they assume
as rulers. Any categorization into "superior" and "less superior" has got to be
fallacious. Certainly, some individuals have an advantage, economic or otherwise,
over others, but that, in and of itself, hardly qualifies him or her to govern. Few
individuals, if any, have the intelligence required to govern a multitude. It takes
more than one person: it takes institutions, agencies and other individuals. Thats
why we have to depend on a Constitution to constitute us as a government with
three branches. One branch for the rulers, another for the multitude, and another
for the adjudicators of the essential relation that runs from the Top to the Bottom.
The Top is abstract the Bottom is concrete, its real, its number. Everyone counts.
Without three branches functioning harmoniously with each other, a government
is lopsided. A lopsided government is not a government, its an arrangement that
insults the human condition.
