  Yeah mostly I would agree with that… unfortunately in this case you get exhibit A. Australia.

  Barely. Probably equally bad in some cases.

  An educated citizenry that actively participates in government is the best solution, but we know that’s almost impossible for multiple reasons.

    I would not say equally bad, citizens are at least theoretically able to influence their government in a democratic system; you have no hope of influencing the ESRB or MPAA or CCA

      Equal “badness” in the sense of commercial/oligarchy takeover or the authoritarian nanny state. Extremes where citizen input is token at best. Russia is technically a democracy, but no regular person there has a hope of changing the government or policy with a vote.
