Ben -

"...the mud, innuendo, half-truths, lies, fraud, hypocrisy, etc..."

"...our litigious society will have a shift to accountability ..."

"...This election shows how unaccountable people are for their own actions...."

These were what I was referring to wrt human nature.

Pure democracy and individual freedom are incompatible in the long run. The Electoral College is one of the necessary constructs that attempt to restrain the tyranny of the majority.
