More votes were cast in the latest Idol balloting, which some
grey-haired man won or something, than were cast for President Bush in
the 2004 election: American Idol outvotes the president.

Does anyone find that scary? I don’t. I generally prefer that only
the people that remotely know the issues and adequately evaluate the
issues and candidates vote. I guess, that I am saying that I would
almost prefer less people voting in an election that actually matters
vs. a singing contest.

I don’t know. The more votes, the greater chance of the mob
mentality. I have been reading / listening to arguments that don’t hold
pure democracy in a good light. Plato, Aristotle, and Zakaria have
warned about the mob and its short lived whiles. Right now I at the
point that I don’t like any political system out there. Mere criticism
is for naught without any better solutions presented, so until I
present something out system’s stead, just ignore me.
