It could be possible for a council of people to be formed with standards of education necessary to be obtained before voting in. They then have ultimate power, and all one needs to do is prevent corruption. An oligarchy then. You're so original. If you're going to call us stupid for believing in democracy, at least admit that what you really hate is freedom for those below you, whom you claim to care for. I dislike freedom for anyone, when that freedom is misused; which, depending upon who you are, you usually will. This misuse is the problem, not who you are, however, the only real way to solve the misuse is to brainwash people. An oligarchy and a dictatorship are basically the same. Thing is, I don't believe anyone is any better or worse on any other level than education. Each person may receive education differently, and there are many different sorts, but that is basically the only way to be worth anything from where I see it. If "those below" me are those less educated, then, yes, I dislike the misuse of freedom done by those. However, insofar as trying to educate them, and therefore bring them up from knowing no better, I would say I do indeed care; and if they don't want to be educated, then my care is obviously wasted and will remain with them no more.
