Editorial Politicians. They are a certain type of people. I do not like them. Many do not like them. I think if there's one thing all of man has in common, whether he be Christian or Muslim, black or white, young or old, American or European, is a dislike of politicians. But then-- why on earth do we allow politics to complicate software? Note: Sunday Eve Column.

Wikipedia: "Politics is a process by which decisions are made within groups. "


we actually have a 'leader' who has the final say in the important matters: David. He, in the end, makes the final call.


Yes.. so you actualy propose to give up democracy and erect an omiscient and omnipotent leader...well people try to do this all the time:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stalin
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mao
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fidel_Castro
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictatorship

and well, all of them failed after some time as this "crippled" democracy is the best we have, eather in goverment or in OSS. Of course we(oss) should have somebody, who shows us the direction, but its not the elected person but rather "natural born" leader, the person whom others follow ...
