Indeed I do. Democracy is not the harbinger of freedom that the more rabid of its proponents believe. Being a melanin-rich voter in the deep south of the USA 100 or 150 years ago would convince one that freedom and a good life is not necessarily part of democracy. Similarly, a King is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, a King has got very good reason to try to keep things on the straight and narrow with happy citizenry than an elected official such as King George II who has a private life and will return to it after dabbling in the corridors of power for a few years, leaving the country to tidy itself up if he makes a mess. Great post. Perhaps the biggest myth perpetuated by public schooling is the notion that democracy = liberty.
