Well, Aj, I'm not a fan of democracy. I go with the Founding Father's opinion on that. But anyways... I would much prefer someone that I know is trusted by a vast majority of the community over someone arbitrarily appointed by a group of people based on how much those people like that person I don't have faith that the vast majority of people would do any better than a smaller group. Why are people suddenly more trustworthy because there are more of them? Popular vote is still arbitrary. It should be based on merit, not popularity.
