    Maybe we need to put it to a vote.

    The thing about that is,that people vote and people are the factor that’s the most easily manipulated in such proceedings. Just ask the Trump-financed ad campaign where he tried to convince the public to put the Central Park Five to death. Or where he tried to get people to vote for him for that matter. Sometimes a vote just serves to confirm what you managed to convince the public of.

    What was that saying again? “Pure democracy is when five wolves and one sheep vote on what’s for dinner”.
