The following is  a .sig of a Libertarian friend of mine. Appropriate!
 > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
 >  "The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people."
 >  "Odd," said Arthur, "I thought you said it was a democracy."
 >  "I did," said Ford, "it is." "So," said Arthur, hoping he
 >  wasn't sounding ridiculously obtuse, "why don't the
 >  people get rid of the lizards?" "It honestly doesn't
 >  occur to them. They've all got the vote, so they all
 >  pretty much assume that the government they've voted
 >  in more or less approximates the government they want."
 >  "You mean they actually vote for the lizards." "Oh yes,"
 >  said Ford with a shrug, "of course." "But," said Arthur,
 >  going for the big one again, "why?" "Because if they  didn't
 >  vote for a lizard, then the wrong lizard might  get in."
