I disagree.  Democracy is about people taking and distributing power, not
about leaders giving it.  The problems arise when for whatever reason
somebody is able to prevent toe people from reclaiming and redistributing
the power.  Ifwe think that our degree of democracy depends on when one or
more of our leaders decide to step out of the limelight, thereby freeing
us from the yoke of his, her, or there viewpoint, then we have no
democracy and can blame only ourselves for it.
