Now I see ...
I can now fully comprehend and state what our problem is here in America!
And I quote: "Democratic government, which is founded on an idea so simple and natural, nevertheless always supposed the existence of a very civilized and very learned society" (Democracy In America, 199).
That's our problem: we are no longer the civilized and learned society that we once were. If we had continued in the path started after the Revolution, we wouldn't have the idiots in office that we do today.
Go figure.
