I'll quote Babal:

http://sajha.com/sajha/html/index.cfm?threadid=93761

If sajha.com were a democracy...like Nepal...it would be dead by now. Can you imagine if sajha were a true democracy what would happen here? It would be total chaos. Sajha is not a democracy. It is a dictatorship. And here, San Pradhan is King. Don't like it? Leave. Go create your own social networking website based on your own rules of fairness.

You see, it is this that Nepal could not say and do in the process of creating a constitution. Nepali constitution makers, unlike San Pradhan, tried to satisfy all the people all of the time. And in the process they satisfied no one.

The problem with democracies is that they suffer from what we in software development call 'scope creep.' When you start taking everyone's viewpoint and requirement and need into consideration and try to satisfy everyone and make all happy...in the process, nothing gets done. In the end no one is happy.

Democracies have limitations. Democracies work when you have mature people with vision who can operate in it. Kindergarten can NOT be run democratically. Not all nations and all people have the maturity to operate in a democracy. For some of us, a strong dictatorship or monarchy works a lot better than a democracy.

This is the reason that sajha.com has not crumbled despite constant opposition. Sajha is a public service provided for the benefit for all Nepalese on the terms of its King/dictator: San Pradhan. This is the reason that it is functional, unlike the Nepali Government.

What does that tell you my friends?
