"The American People" Distortion

“..I went to one who had the reputation of wisdom, and observed him-his name I need not mention, he was a politician whom I selected for examination - and the result was as follows: When I began to talk with him, I could not help thinking that he was not really wise, although he was thought to be wise by many, and still wiser by himself…So I left him, saying to myself, as I went away: Well, although I do not suppose either of us knows anything beautiful and good, I am better off than he is, - for he knows nothing, and thinks that he knows; I neither know nor think that I know. In this later particular, then, I seem to have slightly the advantage of him.”

"The American People" Distortion

Every time I hear a politician invoke the "will of the American People," I can't help thinking, "wait a minute, I am an American and I disagree, so how can this politician say he represents the view of "the American People" without that being a distortion. Usually the truth, at best, is that the politician represents the will of most of the American People, but he/she can never honestly make a claim they know the will of "the American people." This hubris-driven dishonesty and distortion of the 'truth', not only underlies the anger of the electorate, turns-off those of us unrepresented by the invocation, but risks that they blindly rush headlong to their 'nemesis', the destruction of the tragic hero, and as the leader of the country, our collective destruction. The fear this generates is difficult to face, hence its expression as anger. Both parties are guilty of this character flaw, though as a democrat in a republican state, I feel it each election year when I cast a feeble vote for the increasingly invisible minority view. Worse yet, this dynamic leads to a general apathy in the minority electorate, which dampens the voice of opposition, bolstering the hubris, and increasing the likelihood of the inevitable tragic destruction, unfortunately, both theirs and ours.

Make Rental Homes SAFE

Interesting that things get worse when government gets involved, yet you turn to laws and police to solve your problem. I believe the laws and police are government products/entities, does your hypocrisy have any limits?
