Curiosity question: The answer is probably a reflection of personality.

Given the stark choice, would you rather live in a jackbooted dictatorship with a certain tollerence for dissent (just don't go too far, try the wrong target, try to really change things..) or a self censoring paranoid democracy?

Is there any difference? Which is easier to change?

How much would whether the media is entirely government controlled (either by ownership or by the will or the readers (market forces).

This isn't a sidewards jibe at anyone or any government, I'm genuinely interested in what people think.
