Was I born in the right decade?

Once again I have come across one of "my" economic ideas in a paper that was written in the 60s. I guess the challange for me now is to both learn to identify which ideas of mine that haven't been written about yet have merit (instead of just assuming they are so simple as to be worthless) and to explore new applications of these old ideas of "mine".

I have a question for you. Why is democracy the best? Do you have any economic, administrative, or effectivness reasons why democracy is the best form of government? I think that question can be solved rather easily, but more difficult is the question of which of the many voting methods is best.

Third random point. Yesterday, working in the AAV shop, I was marveling at the network of small and medium sized businesses that exist to produce the technical setups for tradeshows, conferences, concerts, etc.... Not only are there the companies that actually bring the equipment, set it up, and run the show (and even then they hire lots of freelance help for specific jobs), but there are also many companies that rent additional equipment, do shipping, even tasks as mundane as building cases in whish to transport and store expensive equipment.
