Medians (was Re: [EM] Absolute Utilities)

I should have defined "democratic" .  

My conception of democracy is what Noam Chomsky describes as a "society
in which a decent person would want to live."

In such a society, there would be lower priority for advancing the rich
(in utility) to ever greater hights, and more effort would be focused on
raising the utility poor to acceptable levels (more compared to our
current corporate dominated priorities).
