Where does it leave the people who lack trust in that kind of delegation? What do we do about that? I'm inclined to agree with what you describe, but it worries me how many of them (us?) have come to feel that it doesn't work. We have a growing left convinced that 'the government' is just a bunch of elites caring about maintaining their wealth, and a growing right that believes the same. I feel both perspectives are at least not unreasonable. So as someone trying to be reasonable and in favor of maintaining some kind of order, where does that leave me? How do we maintain order without accepting a very small elite to maintain it's (corrupt) power? How do we talk to our 'constituents' about this? I'm truly in favor of solutions that don't end up causing societal chaos and killing people, but I'm lost as to the how.
