" " <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, on the subject of '[EM] Re: Condorcet Criterion

Isn't it contradictory that you claim both that the electorate is
"dumber than a doorknob", and that the solution to most problems is more
direct democracy? It's true that the alternative may be "reptile-brain
partisan incumbents", but reptiles are significantly smarter than
doorknobs.
