My Belief in Democracy has Been Shaken by the Sheer Number of Idiots

Advertisements [?]

No, this does not mean I favor some form of authoritarian rule.

But democracy is a political system built on the Enlightenment belief in human progress and the essential wisdom of the people. And, well, let's just say there is a severe wisdom deficit in this country.

I look around me and think, are these the people I want empowered?
