Most people in the class do not know the other people in the class (on a worldwide basis, at least), and we know little about each other. So how would you know whom to elect? And you would basically be electing a dictator who would then have control over the class because of his censorship capabilities. So the class would not have control over him. How would you know what has been censored? Only the person who has been censored would know. And if he protested, the protest could be censored, as well. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
