Replace Praetor by President and you got the same.
I think democracy is still in the Us, it is only buried somewhere beneath the red tape, corruption and well ment intentions.
what I think is go back to basics, review the system as a whole, see what we do not need and then rebuild.
We are in a really bad time when a lot of people have an opinion and they think that their opinion is as valid (true) as the next persons. That there is more than one version of the truth. That some things which are not true can be true for them because they want it that way. This can't be. It's impossible. The opinion of the average Glenn Beck Teabagger, who probably has trouble spelling the wording of a protest sign, is not as valid as the scientific based opinion of a genius like Jacque Fresco.
It also seems that there are a lot of people who are either not intelligent enough to recognize truth or they intentionally prefer to not recognize the truth as truth because of ulterior motives which may even be done on a subconscious level. We, all of us in the world today, are so programmed into our world view and have been lied to so much that we tend to lose that ability to know what is true. There are many reasons why we resist seeing the truth and accepting it as such and we won't have a better world, a better society until we all recognize these points. The clouding of truth is in favor of those who seek control.
Dennis, you seem to have the open mindedness and intelligence to comprehend what is in the following lecture. It is rather long, about 1 and 3/4 hours long but I find it easy to watch because it is so fascinating.
