and Rupert Murdoch
In the age of the web 2.0 we still do not have a meta-government made by the people to the people. With principles like radical transparency, like the ones we learned from editing wikipedia.
I believe it is a question of having someone to blame... like some server farm that chooses microsoft over some opensource distro. They like to pass the blame to other guys. As long as that happens we, or at least until a greater percentage of the population becomes wiser to choose their own policies, we will be stuck in Soft Despotism. But hey, google also took some decades to happen, so it doesn't mean it cannot be done.
Fast, cheap, good: pick two.
