China. Great dictators. Until they demolish your block, or drown your home under some dam. And shoot you if you protest. Oh well same as Inde, but here you get to throw em out every few years. Neat this election thing.

True! Today's TOI has a report on how Chinese officials put complaining citizens in mental asylums and keep them under sedation till they take back their case. There is no such thing as a good dictator.

Like FOSS, democracy is a community effort. No short cuts to it. :-)

and if all the time and energy spent on this debate had been spent on rectifying the OSM map of Mumbai, the citizens of Mumbai would have benefited greatly. (btw, mapping is illegal in China)
