I have my doubts about the evolutionary value of democracy in the modern 
world.   For example, in the corporate world the motivation is supplied 
by stockholders and the points of view are supplied by employees.  
Worse, the corporate leaders, workers, and stockholders are all 
different people, disinterested in the welfare of one another.   
Complicating matters is that the corporations have the ear of 
government.  Democracy in these kinds of conditions requires individual 
courage and idealism.
