[thechat] "Democracy can be bad for you"

[matthew garrett]

Careful, most "stupid" people turn out to be smart about some things.

Example: Lot's of folks like to call "W" stupid, but he was smart enough to
simultaneously be direct about his pro-business and pro-rich-people stance,
and fool the middle classes/working people into thinking that he was
speaking to them.

So, let's replace "stupid" with "woefully un-informed". In both cases.
