also excellent,
in fact communities RELY on members to not only self-police
but to co-police each other. Think about any football game
when an athlete gets angry and the other guys help calm him
down.
no one wants to see an eruption ;-)
but as a side note,
communities benefit GREATLY from visible and effective leadership.
I think you are confusing "Leaders" with "Rulers".
Rulers, on the whole, are useless.
Leaders can be inspiring and visionary,
and great fun at parties.
