The Question

To Caucus or Not to Caucus,
That is the Question!

I think I shall, with the following in mind:

"'The voters decide on their own misgovernment' is the accepted formula. Majority rule is the essential math. There is some truth to it. But there is a bigger measure of falsehood. No president in modern times ever got a majority of Americans to come out and vote for him, and the president in office, as of this writing, didn't even get a majority of the votes cast. And even if the system of defining a majority were legitimate, there is still the question -- so what? Whether they vote on it or not, by the time three wolves and one sheep sit down to decide what to have for dinner, the menu has already been drawn up." Mobs, Messiahs and Markets, P. 193

“Public knowledge has its own peculiar character, for it must be dumbed down to a level that can be absorbed by a mob. A learned and thoughtful man may speak before a crowd and get no positive reaction whatsoever. A real demagogue, on the other hand, will distill his thoughts into a few simple-minded expressions and soon have enough admirers to run for public office. Readers who have wondered why it is that politicians all seem to be such simpletons now have their answer: It is a requirement for the job. For, en masse, mankind can neither understand complex or ambiguous thoughts nor remember them.” Financial Reckoning Day P. 168
