> So go ahead Louisiana People, keep voting in the dumbest people you can find. Above I asserted that hill people are rational people. The natural Q to follow is why does their bloc elect ignorant, irrational people? My answer is IDK. However, it is the same answer as the one for this question. Why do ethical, observant people (nearly the entire voting populace really) continually reelect officials who routinely trade law and government power for campaign cash (an act indistinguishable from bribery)? And the corollary Q: Why is the press nearly always fine with this (~never informing voters of corruption, ensuring it continues unabated)? I'm pretty sure if I can answer one, I can answer them all.
