I'm reminded that the Founders worried about the general public casting
votes, as most would be too uneducated to trust with the important
business of running a democracy.  Of course, the other model doesn't
work either because you wind up with an aristocracy capturing the vote
and voting for their narrow interests.  In this model you get dumbasses
getting manipulated massively into voting for the interests of the
elite.  Same outcome.

That George Carlin video posted yesterday is totally relevant to this
thread.
