People Aren’t Smart Enough for Democracy to Flourish, Scientists Say

People Aren’t Smart Enough for Democracy to Flourish, Scientists Say – Yahoo! News:

It’s official now. A few scientists have made public what a lot of them have already been thinking: they need to rule us, and make the rules for us.

Scientists who might think otherwise (there are plenty of them), what about them?

I more believe that with good education the people can blast away at such hubris.

Besides, if people are not trustworthy with the vote, then whose fault is that? What are these Cornell autocrats covering up?

    Well…. GW was re-elected. That says quite a bit doesn’t it?

    So was Clinton. And a lot of people say they’ll vote for Obama, Romney, Santorum, or Gingrich.
    A lot of people are waking up though, with the growing Ron Paul Revolution.

    “….growing Ron Paul Revolution”

    Sorry… the what? 🙂

    Oh I gotta kid you about that one. There doesn’t seem to be much a ground swell of support for him given the primary results. Yes, he’s done better than many had expected but….

    Also, it’s quite difficult to compare re-electing GW to re-electing Clinton. His was a MUCH more successful presidency by far even with his person screw ups.

    #1. The primaries and the media story do not tell what’s happening on the ground. Like the fancy vote-counting two-steps in Iowa and in Maine.

    #2. Most of Ron Paul’s support comes from people who understand his ideas, and that’s why his support just steadily grows while the three fake conservatives’ support has see-sawed up and down. They are enthused about finally hearing the truth about liberty and big government from a guy whose votes prove he is what he says.

    #3. He does what he says, his record speaks for him. Former lobbyist Abrahamoff says the lobbyists left him alone, he did not trade votes for money, it was useless with Ron Paul. He exposed both Dixiecrats and Repugnant-cans in his book.

    #3. There is a reason the young people have made him their majority choice. They are not chained down by investment in the Republican and Dixiecrat Parties Big Government philosophies.

    #4. Once a person realizes the importance of the currency issues and how the Fed is in the middle of that, there’s only one candidate who is the champion of sane monetary policy.

    #5. The results show a movement toward him, and here in Florida during early voting a lot of the voters for the other guys told me they liked Ron Paul better, they just wanted to vote for the one most likely to win against Obama.

    The more people realize any vote for anybody else is a wasted vote, the more solid they are for Ron Paul.

    It’s a liberty movement.
