15. I chose plutocracy ...
which is a system of government run by the wealthy. They may reach out through their corporations, but make no mistake this is a government for and by the rich. The rest of us don't really matter unless we help make them richer.

16. Have you read "The Irony of Democracy"?
After 30 years in print, THE IRONY OF DEMOCRACY still offers the freshest, most eye-opening approach to American government of any text. In this millennial edition, the authors again present an unrepentant elitist approach to American democracy, contending that it is the elites, not the masses, that govern our country.

23. No I haven't ..
But thanks for the link. I checked it out at both Amazon and Alibris and I am going to pick it up. It looks like something that would be of great interest. Also in a good range of prices at both places.

22. idiocracy (soon to be on the current trajectory)
A democracy can't function without a public mentally functional enough to assume its role of controlling said democracy. The vermin devoluting our culture and nation currently, understand that fully.

Let's hear it for tribalism !! Join the American Taliban today !! 39 sterling examples on display in the Senate, GOP side of the room.
