There is really no hope for a democracy as large as ours led from the center. With the nation headed towards half a billion people spread over 3.6 million square miles the tectonic forces brought to bear on the center at any point of change literally tears the polity to shreds. People can’t rationally make decisions involving trillions of dollars and hundreds upon hundreds of millions of people. Our minds can’t conceive.
Ambitious lads like Barack Obama are sorcerers apprentices, conjuring up forces that they don’t understand and can’t hope to control.
