Technically, a democracy is everyone having a say in running the
country, you're thinking of a republic. I do agree that we don't need
a "Sheriff" or any such thing. People need to stop asking for
permission to do things and just start doing them. If someone doesn't
like the work you're doing they then have to a) help you fix it, b)
make something that works better, or c) live with it.
