Waaaah Taj....

Finally the pride and glory of The Great India "The Taj Mahal" again got the esteemed position in New 7 Wonders list. Thanks to those (all across the globe) who voted for Taj and helped it in maintaining a position in the 7 wonders list.
But how worth the voting system is? How can the result of thing of such a great importance be highly dependent on public votes? Are these votes really important or its just a business strategy?
If a monument of a immence populated country is choosen for the race and the other monument is of the country with very low population and if the public votes are going to play a big role in the result then.... everyone knows what will happen...
It's always right to have public opinion, and thats what the judges are made for. The sole responsibility of the judges are to take public opinion, apply their logic and give the result (with certain explanations) that should be acceptabe by everyone.
I see these public voting as a big business. A business that does not bother about emotions of general people. A business by which people will loose their charm/excitement for any competition.

Not only 7 wonders, I see that all the competitions want public votes and the results of some of the competitions are only dependent on public votes.

Thanks to some sports in which the competitor has to show his ability, instead of relying on public votes, to be a winner. Believe me if this happens the same way as it is now then the day is not far when there will be no competitors at all from least populated regions.
