we are the people publius warned us against

"...that we may avoid erecting a numerous democracy..." john locke. the fundamental constitutions of carolina. 1669_________ "measures are too often decided, not according to the rules of justice and the rights of the minor party, but by the superior force of an interested and overbearing majority." james madison. federalist X._______"on some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the white house will be adorned by a downright moron." h.l.mencken in 1920________john locke was the philosophical godfather to the framers of the constitution and madison, hamilton, and jay worked mightily to limit the franchise to the "better" sort...it is important to note that the constitution is about limiting rights, not guaranteeing them and that the first ten amendments were a rider tossed in at the last minute to make the whole thing more palatable to the state's righters...i had thought of bush the junior as the preeminent moron in the white house...this may need revision..the jury is still out on the bafflement that emanates from whoretown...is this idiocy or just a lack of a filter? we have time to find out...however we will need to know soon...the unquiet grave of reaganism is stirring and there is no telling where that could end...mencken was prescient in his statements...there have been many unenlightened tools of special interests in the executive branch...there seems and endless supply...some are better schooled in the arts of camouflage than others having absorbed more of their ivy league educations than others..others have been transparent in their ineptitude or malevolence...whichever is ensconced in the executive mansion you can be assured that if you work for an hourly wage you can be sure their interests are in direct opposition to yours...we are more numerous...that "interested and overbearing majority"...yet they find ways to keep us from realizing it..and we bite...every time...why they "love the uneducated"...time to smarten up people...this foolishness has gone on long enough.
