> So... uh... I feel pretty confident I know what I'm talking about when I say, that's not naive... that's exactly how elections work. That's adorable, but it's simple naive to think the guy on the McDonalds counter has as much input in elections as the PhD in public policy. Which is for the best because why in the fuck would we want a system where anybody no matter how stupid, gets equal say in how society runs? We put limits on "democracy" for a reason. > The difference is that once they hire someone, they have to give that person an equal voice in the enterprise. And yes, that increases freedom. Again, why in the fuck should the guy running the counter at McDonalds get an equal voice when he doesn't have equal knowledge or ability? Oh wait, are you one of those people who pretends everybody is equally capable?
