9 I think you're right. I liked the way that gentoo was not a democracy. As it
10 is now I think an indirect democracy is the way to go, where the council sets
11 out the lines, makes decisions fast and before everything has been repeated
12 over and over in the next huge flamefest. If one does not agree with the
13 council, vote someone else the next year.
