Thats all good but should we go back to a dictatorship just because democracy was gotten by "hurling stones"? You have some noble ideas for what your life and country should be but fail to state what political system will get the country there. Invariably in the real world every country needs a political system for governance and administration. Clearly no one wants violence but there must have been a darned good reason why people took the streets in droves. I understand some of the frustration you have expressed and agree our leaders are at times idiots but democracy, however imperfect, is probably the best system to produce leaders in the long run. Even by other measures, a system with some degree of accountability, however faulty it may be, is more viable that one that runs on the whims and fancies of a select few who are acocuntable to none. Democracy is nowhere close to perfect but dictatorial monarchy is no alternative for it either.
