Excellent point. Democracy is not an end in itself . It’s a vehicle. I subscribe to the ( maybe apocryphal) statement by Winston Churchill that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others.By the way isn’t it interesting that people perceive free speech as a threat to democracy. Of course it is. What they want is a manipulable mass who democratically give the elite vanguard what they want. Discussion renders democratic or autocratic manipulations much harder because elites face a challenge and they don’t like that.

A peeve / reconsider your use of. BCE instead of BC. BCE is an expression of something that I think is disagreeable . They denote exactly the same thing but the C must go for somewhat obvious reasons. I think Common Era is even worse. Common Era ?
