[Mind's Eye] Re: democracy

Aristocracy, I think, is the more appropriate term. Surely it was not
intended to be the way it is now... (?) A question of who's intent now
arises as does a question of initial design flaws or post amendment
ramifications. What does having a vote mean these days? Constituencies
are, for the most part, ignorant of law, process, etc... and rely on
representation to do the "right thing". We would like to believe that
our votes count but electoral vote is how a race is decided. As far as
policy is concerned, the general populace is, for the most part, out
of the loop.
