re: #436 Bobblehead

Rush mentioned that yesterday. It is his feeling that the majority of Americans seem to be comfortable with what he called “soft tyranny”.

I’ve been trying to think lately (I know, a dangerous thing) about at what point a society becomes too large to be a de facto democracy. I know that the US is not a democracy. Meaning, at some point the situation becomes so complex that “the people” simply must delegate part of the decision making process and hope it turns out OK.

In the case of the US—being a constitutional republic—my thinking goes wonky.
