Dilbert creator Scott Adams has a great entry on his blog about his fervent hope that a secret society of puppetmasters is really running things, instead of the miserable morons (of both stripes) in Washington.
He says:" My favorite conspiracy theory is the one that says the world is being run by a handful of ultra-rich capitalists, and that our elected governments are mere puppets. I sure hope it’s true. Otherwise my survival depends on hordes of clueless goobers electing competent leaders. That’s about as likely as a dog pissing the Mona Lisa into a snow bank."
My own comment is this: Democracy is such a sacred cow we never hear any criticism. Consider a person with no education, no knowledge of history and who pays no attention to news or current events. That person's vote counts just as much as yours. Isn't that great?
