Since it's EuroTrib, I suppose it's OK to ask if the problem is democracy itself, in the age of universal bullshit propaganda.

Example: Global Warming Remedition versus the NonHuman Global Corporations.

Corporations not only don't have morals, they don't even have the structure to generate morality, but they're making all the decisions.

Where is the control over corporations?

Is it time to consider the kneejerk axiom that democracy is best? We don't have it anyway, as so many here complain constantly.

What's a better system of governance?

Align culture with our nature. Ot else!
