@scottalanmiller I've said basically what Socrates said many times. Had no idea he felt the same way but somehow feel more validated in my stance.
Democracy was seen as a very bad idea from the time of Athens until quite recently in American history. The founding fathers were very much with Socrates. The modern drive that democracy is a good thing is actually the anti-thesis of the American foundations.

I can't get the video to play, but let me guess.... he says democracy is bad because the common man is an idiot?

Ding ding ding. We have a winner.
Technically no. It's that the average person has not contemplated government. He doesn't mention intelligence but rather effort.

Potato, potato. I'd guess that now most of the uneducated masses are less intelligent than in the time of Socrates.

Zoolander
Sincere condolences. When I went on a cruise, that movie played the whole time, so many different language versions. It was always dubbed in one language and subtitled in another, and it was still terrible every time I walked by a TV that week.

Learning. Always learning.

Zoolander is hilarious.
I started Star Trek Beyond last night, had to goto bed will finish tonight.
Also started Luke Cage which is very good so far. -

I watched the first several episodes of Luke Cage, but then lost interest.
Currently in the middle of "13 Reasons Why" on Netflix.
