Unfortunately, the US long ago eliminated any requirement that you be
intelligent (or educated [exposed to history and some serious thought]
or a property owner [with a real stake in both national and
international events]) in order to vote, which gave the vote to people
who are more interested in the candidate's clothing style than
international acumen. I did NOT vote for Alfred E Newman.


Winston Churchilll's wry observation: "The greatest argument against
democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter."
