Democracies Idealy Must Fail

The sad fact is people aren't smart enough for Democracy to flourish. The democratic process is predicated upon individual assumptions that citizens (the majority of them, at least) can recognize the best political candidate, or best policy idea, when they hear or see it. Whoa, back up and think about this for a moment, how many arguments have you had within your own familia about politics and religion doesn't count nor should it. I love southern words. Now imagine how your conversation would go right up to and over this person of low unethical to moderate intelligence. What if this ignorant individual solved most of their differences with violence as most still do. The odds of them then pulling the wrong lever goes way up where the lever is pulled, voting for the worst posible candidate on purpose just to show you that I can make all of our lives more miserable. Ever run across one of those, please don't mix apples with oranges, concerning me just yet. Humbled I smile. Incompetent people are inherently unable to judge the competence of other people, or the quality of those people's ideas. For example, if people lack expertise on justice reform, it is very difficult for them to identify the candidates who are actual experts or they turn to fear that one factor that enables such folks to actually make a difference where a difference was not needed to make. They simply for the lack of the proverbial picnic and having not the mental tools or their one sandwich short unthinking they never needed, to make a lasting meaningful judgment or impression therein not felt. As a result, no amount of information, data or facts about political candidates can over ride the inherent dangers the inability of voters to accurately evaluate them. American's don't buy uncle Tom's maple syrup, they buy...Mmm.. doesn't it taste good come on now you thought it, spit it out and on top, beneath the stack of them that. Most smart ideas are going to be hard for people to adopt, because most people don't have the sophistication to recognize what a good idea is or where it comes from. This requires intelligence, good logistical skills, critical thinking, sound reasoning and a whole host of other intellectual skills, most people from birth never had. I'm sorry to hear Dear, did you say that Mum before you were born smoked crack. Or that you have alcohol fetal syndrome like my daughter It also requires the ability to tell the truth from a lie when it's beig sold, most folks today by those untruths then ask why they had such a need to die for them. Indicating that they would lie about anything and in retrohence their inability to react appropriately when one lie they will hear is. Stupid is as stupid does, where this kind of stupid effects all of U.S. the vast majority. Did you like that new word I just invented few knew. No one likes to be told that they are delusional when it comes to their own intellectual skills. Whether it's correctness of grammar, or even their own subpar performance in a game of simple chess just to keep their wits about them at the cost of someone else. By keeping mine, infinitesimally sharp. Speaking for myself I do this on a daily basis, that word there above I could get lost in I know that I nearly did. Again sadly people as a rule will always assess their own performance as above average, even people like me whom when tested, actually performed at the very bottom of bells sexy curve. Incompetent people to ignorant to know and proudly like me they must show it. But I digress so, let's just stick with how their lack of mental tools, affects U.S. the all, in our failing democracy. Ideally democracy is, one person, one vote and it was by they designed to hold hostage. A persons inability to judge for themselves new ideas and issues that to them would be to a few no big problem so there goes that left handed wrong lever again. The real world is not an ideal world. And the further away one moves from the dream of an ideal democracy, the less rational voters like I whom can never vote become. Take America's Arcane sex offender laws the vast majority won't reoffend hence they need not have their lives destroyed by people unqualified to vote whom tie their vote premised on said ignorance to one's running for office. While those few whom will reoffend kill the child because the punishment for both crimes is the same, so they won't alive leave a witness, kinda like letting your five year old child dictate to you what they will eat or they will call D.C.F. on you. Sound familiar. Not to bright humans as a rule are so very poor if at best illogical problem solvers look at the current Ebola scare and the fear that some Texan, on a suicidal whim would expose you to certain death...mmm...well they did. If that were all there was to it, we could conclude that democracies always fail because voters can not distinguish between a good idea and a bad idea. Premature death to me is a bad idea, what do you think? I could go on and on and say nothing at all like I just did you smile at the hetic pace I set...Don't let's be obtuse. The vast majority, I've not touchéd upon. From birth bless their hearts, they never had a chance and being as they are I could not, even if they tried to read this, without developing a blinding migrain headache.
