Don't get me wrong, I'm not calling you elitist or some other such non-sense, but in my account, the American people vote in elections as if they were voting in American Idol. It's more of a popularity contest than any real political argument.<br /><br />If you remember your high school class elections, you will see that we have just expanded that spectacle to the national level and have turned it into a multi-billion dollar business.<br /><br />Another one of my favorite quotes:<br /><br />"The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter" -- Churchill<br /><br />Libertarian in ColoradoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
