Wish i had

There probably is people like that around but there is a saying that goes "Fame comes to late for the dead" or something. I guess we wont realize the true potential of great men and women before its to late.
What about a 50% democracy 50% aristocracy? Where only the one deemed worthy are allowed to go for election (voted by the people) and that they have a limited time in control. But they DO require high education and be deemed exceptionally smart and/or wise?
Also i think people with a higher educations and more power in society should be allowed stronger votes. Example:
lower class: 1 votes per head
mid class: 2 votes per head
High class: 3 votes per head
This way the weakminded and easily manipulated crowd would still affect elections, but smarter and more powerfull people who knows how the system and the world works would still be able to influence control.
Democracy is letting stupidity rule the nation imo. Just like communism it is a nice idea but it goes against human nature.
Im not high class myself, rather low-mid class so to speak. And even i think the world is better of ruled by the academic elite than some gang of thugs in a real world "american idol government"
