Ordinarily, I'd like the heck out of it, but democracy has been showing itself to be entirely too easily coöpted by plutocrats... and I think that might be especially so in Nepal. Even with psychotic monarchs they might have stood against the ravaging capitalists, but it doesn't feel like they can now. I'm probably only dreaming that Russia and Venezuela are trying to come up with decent compromises, balances between straight democracy and straight capitalism, but those are places that appear to me to hold out the most hope for humans right now.
