Hal,
Yes, I think we can say that a pure democracy has some undesirable
features. For myself I prefer a democracy with safe guards for the minority;
among those the right to life, limb and only voluntary servitude. Further I
think you will find that a right to voluntary servitude includes a right to
what is earned.
