Sure thing. It went straight to the heart of my own problem with the Internet. It makes everyone an arm chair analyst and the facts are never what they appear to be. Even intelligent people can get mislead by the "facts" on the Internet. So what does a Democracy do about it? We're drowning in an unprecedented quantity of lies posing as truth, which makes rational debate on any subject almost impossible. In an unexpected turn of events, the great Democratizing Internet may end up being the death of Democracy...unless we all can figure out how to score sites on the Internet so people can know when information can be relied on vs when information is just opinion or conjecture.
