                        I come back to Democracy is one form of government that may work. It works for us, but not everywhere. Benevolent despots (are there any?) would work somewhere else, but not here.

                        I submit that if the population is content, any form of government will do.

                          There are plenty of different "freedoms," for that matter. There's the Isaiah Berlin active vs passive freedom dichotomy. There are religious ideas of being "free" of worldly encumbrances to pursue enlightenment. And of course there's the whole western capitalist spectrum ranging from the left's freedom from dying of diphtheria to the right's freedom to buy a fifth country home.

                          But even if freedom and well-being are culturally relative, self-determination is still probably a common foundation. Even if many choices can be equally correct, you still need the ability to choose, and to change your choice later. Even a dictatorship needs an occasion ratification, by ballot or bullet.

                            Well, well. It seems that there may be some Americans who need their communications with overseas terrorist groups monitored after all... Lovely.
                            If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?
