Another 800 years for democracy?

Today, the radio tells me, is the 800th anniversary of the signing of the Magna Carta.

According to this Wiki article, 25 barons forced the king to sign the document.

Where are our 25 barons?  Instead, Forbes tells us, we have 400 super-rich AMericans with assets equivalent to the bottom half of the entire nation... 150+ people.

Another 800 years of liberty and democracy?  I don't know that I would be willing to bet on that.  Another 80 years? Hmmm...
