One of the bad things about a democracy is that it is certain that dumb shits will rule. I mean, not to be an elitist, but think about it: People with high aptitude are a minority, and democracy is the rule of the majority. Hence, dumb shits rule. Same thing with communism/socialism.
I know, we're not a democracy, we're a republic. And I think that helps. It's definitely a step in the right direction, but not so far that a single sovereign rules (who might also be a dumb shit, just one with royal blood). But still, I agree with you that it is apparent we're letting the tail wag the dog. Even in a republic, I guess we can't get away from that problem entirely.
I'd just as soon have Barney Frank and Jack Abramoff running against one another as Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Same shit, different, uhh, well, different nothing. Just the same old shit.
