There should be some relationship between rules and wills. Wills are very 
important motivations for setting new rules or modifying/revising the existing
ones. The Constitution of IFCSS should have some "rules" to set new rules, 
otherwise, it won't work. I agree with only "We should learn how to play by
the rules."

The word 'democracy' is a highly abstract term. For individuals, it does not
make much sense to say they know or don't. Some wills from anyone may make a
perfectly democratic sense. Ignoring the Constitution and rules sometime is
not so 'stupid' since the rules are not set by GOD.
