What do you think on the topic of government? Do you think that a democratic system with checks and balances is the best, or do you feel that a dictatorial covernmet, with its efficient decicive desision making system is better? Well?

Do I get to be the One?

If not, I'll take checks and balances, thanks.

Ah, but I would have to be the correct Jet Li.

As I recall, my odds of surviving as one of the Jet Lis in that movie weren't very good. ;)

I guess I'll have to side with democracy in any case, then.

I personally don't like the sound of either one. If there's a tyranny, then I really don't care how many tyrants there are. I'll take a Constitutional Republic like we ('re supposed to) have here in the US.
