Democracy ceases to function properly or in a desirable way once your voter pool turns into a bunch of ignorant morons.
For example, if you lived in a town with a total population of 5,000 and 4,500 of those people were clinically certified to be mentally retarded, or for a less extreme example... 4,500 of those people had never attended any sort of school, sneered at the idea of reading the news or learning about science or any sort of intellectual endeavor, and had never read a book in their lives... in fact were illiterate, would you want that town to be a democracy?
Would you want your life to be subject to the whims and emotions of those people, or the reactions within those people that corrupt, greedy politicians were able to evoke?
Obviously a not so benevolent dictator is the anwer, how blind we have been.
Now off to demand abortions for every firstborn girl but we have to make sure it happens outside of the womb, that is the correct way.
You're a retard, your thoughts are stupiid and your expression of them bears the mark of a ignoramus.
But please do go on, in the US that is normal.
