Just a moan from one and head shake from the other.

Effectively stupid, yes, but dangerously stupid. This schmuck is yet another of the many ultraconservative Ivy League products who are determined to restrict direct democracy by shifting power from the idiot citizenry to a "wiser and more responsible" elite -- i.e., identified with stultifying knuckle-dragging banality as possession of money and position. What Enlightenment? What explosion of knowledge and understanding?

Ultraconservative billionaire infiltration of our universities may be new over the past few decades, along with subsequent insertion of their product into influential positions, but this current big attempt to "fix" America by shifting power to the wealthy is just the latest of many since conservatives blew it big time in 1787.

They never give up. The best education on the planet can't make that type admit, or care, that money and power do not equate to wisdom and responsibility.
