>> Yet they despise Bernie Madoff, they vote for more of what Bernie did, the politicians take their cut up front, organize their own gold-plated pensions, don't plan on being around to answer for the chaos and poverty and everyone denigrates the idea of tradable citizenships which would confer on individuals the ownership of their share of the commons which is what is being promised. People are going to get what they vote for and get it good and hard.<< What you say is true, but unfortunately, the only answer is democracy with all its warts and flaws. As you say, people get what they vote for. At least they get that. People used to live lives of horrible serfdom, ruled by cruel feudal lords. Many still do. Too often today, people are fooled, and vote in the same types of cruel folks. But democracy does usually provide some laws to cushion the cruely. Pretty ironic though when one thinks about it. Another irony is that the messy regulations also protect the populace from tyrrany. Constructive conservatism it is called in political science. It is as hard for the bad guys to get through "red tape" as the good guys-lol. We humans will either learn to be smart or we die, it seems to me. That will require facing facts, logic and putting things in their proper persepctive. Most humans find that type of thinking ridiculous-lol.
